Daughter. Pilot. Traitor?

Nastia is no traitor. She is a fearless pilot, the daughter of revolutionaries, and now, as the Second World War descends on Russia, she must fight alongside her male peers to defend the glorious Motherland. But all is not as it seems.

As Hitler's army moves forward and the battles begin, secrets are revealed and everything that Nastia once knew is challenged.
