Flora dreams of becoming a Ranger, an arm of the military that has been outlawed. When the last of the Rangers has been captured, Flora mounts a rescue, enlisting the help of supernatural butler Valefor. The use of language in Flora's feisty, sardonic narration is outstanding. Readers will enjoy immersing themselves in Wilce's credible magical conceit, soaking in the startling details.
