Release Date: April 2nd 2019
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Synopsis:
Two girls use forbidden magic to fly and fight–for their country and for themselves–in this riveting debut that’s part Shadow and Bone, part Code Name Verity.
Seventeen-year-old Revna is a factory worker, manufacturing war machines for the Union of the North. When she’s caught using illegal magic, she fears being branded a traitor and imprisoned. Meanwhile, on the front lines, Linné defied her father, a Union general, and disguised herself as a boy to join the army. They’re both offered a reprieve from punishment if they use their magic in a special women’s military flight unit and undertake terrifying, deadly missions under cover of darkness. Revna and Linné can hardly stand to be in the same cockpit, but if they can’t fly together, and if they can’t find a way to fly well, the enemy’s superior firepower will destroy them–if they don’t destroy each other first.
We Rule the Night is a powerful story about sacrifice, complicated friendships, and survival despite impossible odds.

Review of We Rule The Night
Review (4.5 Stars): We Rule The Night was a beautifully written story about strength, magic and dragons. I loved these characters from the very beginning and I immersed myself in this story after meeting Revna and Linne. The cover of this book is absolutely stunning and readers will fall in love with this beautiful tale. We can find strength when we need it and these two beautiful characters were able to depend on each other when they felt that they would lose everything. I’m looking forward to doing a reread of this in the future.
