First mage on the moon / Cameron Johnston.
"Once a Unity skymage trained to make aerial supply runs in the great war with the Ranneas Empire, Ella Pickering is now drowning in debt. Following a crash she uses a wheelchair, working gruelling shifts to make magical weapons in the Unity workshops, thinking of better days. One night, engineer Jackan Grissom's experimental device malfunctions, morphing into a crude rocket that blasts skyward before falling into No Man's Land, but not before inspiring Ella with a dangerous dream: can they construct a device to reach the moon - the forbidden home of the gods? Could they go and beg them to stop the war? They will need help, but as more folk get involved in their blasphemous plot, can they keep it under wraps? Can magic get them to the moon? Or will their heresy lead them to the gallows?" -- Back cover.
