Lieutenant Commander Firefly and her Timberwolf flight are combat fliers of the highest caliber and seasoned veterans of the Continental War, a massive conflict from which the world is just beginning to rebuild. When a nation lost to time suddenly resurfaces in the frozen north, it is her fliers that are tasked with keeping peace in the frigid skies over the Crystal Empire.

But even the best cannot escape the scars of war. Images of battle continue to haunt Firefly, demons that she cannot seem to exorcise on her own. Meanwhile, she still has a squad to lead, a new recruit to train, and patrols to conduct. But what begins as routine patrol work rapidly escalates into deadly dogfights and furious fleet actions. There is more to this fight than just a few rogue griffons out for blood and coin. As the situation quickly spirals out of control, the Timberwolves find themselves embroiled in a conflict that will determine the fate of not just the Crystal Empire, but the entire free world.

Original universe with heavy inspiration from the Ace Combat games. Rated Mature for warfare, violence, dark themes, and language. No clop is planned, though there are sexual references and implied sex. Tagged to cover bases.
