Summary
Svetlana knew how to play the game. She'd been caught in the political drama of Stalin's inner circle since birth. The only child of one of Stalin's closest friends, she grew up in the limelight scrutinized by friend and foe. With the outbreak of the war, Sveta found a taste of freedom with the snipers.
For Zhanna, her place in the military was the only thing she could be proud of, giving her a tie to the place she called home. With the grace of others looming over her head, Zhanna had only one chance to be more than the blood inside her veins and the prayer on her lips.
Then the Nazis invaded the Motherland. Tasked with reaching the Allies by her father, Sveta once more found herself a political pawn, taking Zhanna with her to the Allies on a mission for her father. But with the Eastern Front crumbling, the girls found themselves at the mercy of America for a way home. That meant the Airborne.
They were already soldiers. How hard could that be? Zhanna may be able to embrace the company of those around her. But for Sveta, the daughter of a man who represented everything the Allies worked against in the Bolshevik Revolution, it may be too difficult.

Summary
"In times of war, you do what you must, become what you must. Some embrace it, some try to resist it, and others abuse it. I am guilty of all three."
Virginia Carroll has been fighting her whole life, against herself and against what she is drawn to become. Burdened by her mother's scars and haunted by the shadows of a war gone by, Virginia, codenamed Eris, is pushed to the brink in Normandy risking life and discovery to gather intelligence.
Her orders change and Virginia must embrace Eris fully to survive Europe. She can't afford to let her regrets and fears weigh her down as the Airborne falls to her rescue. She most certainly can't be distracted as she is recalled from the front and the real work begins.
In times of war, you do what needs to be done and Virginia knows it all too well. But the longer she fights, she begins to wonder: at the end of the war, will she still be Virginia Carroll or will Eris, weighed by her mother's past, be all that's left?|| Originally published as A Little Discord. This is the edited\revised version ||

Summary
Agent Enyo was a legend. A woman whose hands were always bloody and eyes filled with shadows. The reaper of the Western Front, she carried her reputation with her across the ocean to the alleys and speakeasies of Chicago. For who could fight a king of crime but a goddess herself?
But before she was a legend before she had a name, she was just Miriam Goldschmidt: a German girl far from home, trying to keep her tattered family from unraveling. The Great War brewing in Europe had pulled on the threads and challenged Miriam's loyalty: to the land of her birth or the London streets she now walked?
From London to Cairo then to the Western Front in the wreckage of Belgium, Miriam proves her allegiance, fulfilling the deep thirst for recognition but being a good soldier and a good agent required sacrifice.As the war leaves its marks on Europe and it's victims, Miriam has to make peace with the choice she made and the family she tore apart for that name and that seat in the pantheon.
She was a god but at what cost?

Summary
In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes.
Howl, of course, had been born the younger of two. That held no real significance, other than that he always felt like he had a shadow looming over him.
Howl’s Moving Castle, from Howl’s perspective.
