Wings of War — Tara Grayce

The blood of legends runs in his veins. Born with his father's legendary magic, half-elf Fieran Laesornysh longs to prove himself worthy of the elven heritage he carries. With the Alliance Kingdoms and the power-hungry Mongavarian Empire teetering on the brink of war, Fieran seizes his chance to take to the skies and become a legend in his own right. He just has to curb his cheekiness and survive the rigors of basic training first. With a band of fellow flying aces-in-training and a cute half-dwarf girl mechanic at his side, will Fieran complete his training before the long-dreaded war engulfs his homeland? Or will his incorrigible nature cause him to dishonor the legacy and name he bears? This action-packed, epic steampunk fantasy series, filled with magical gadgets, elven warriors, and a hint of no spice romance, is perfect for fans of Lindsay Buroker and K.M. Shea.
