After somehow managing to live through the most grueling battle of their entire careers, Tanya and the 203rd receive a letter from the General Staff. Its contents are, essentially, “Hop on these rockets and go smash up the Republican Army’s HQ. Oh, and be sure to come back from this technologically unprecedented flight alive once you’re done with your absurdly dangerous mission!”

The 203rd Battalion’s manned V-1 rocket assault, a mission that will determine the fate of the Empire, has thrown the François Republic’s headquarters into chaos—and Tanya, along with a company of her toughest elites, is right on its doorstep to finish the job. As the Commonwealth waffles over its next moves, lulled into complacency by the Empire’s retreat from the Rhine, General Zettour unveils the next phase of his devilishly brilliant strategy...

The Empire’s victory seems close at hand—which only makes it more of a surprise when two battalions of aerial mages, led by the Commonwealth’s most storied ace of aces, run into Tanya on their way to sneak-attack Western Army Group HQ. While it’s surely too late for the Commonwealth to turn the tide by finally entering the war, taking out this underequipped quarter of the 203rd is far more achievable...

On Meg’s seventeenth birthday, she learns that she only has one year left to live. Her mentor—the Eternal Witch, Faust—explains that she is cursed and the only way to save herself is to grow a seed of life using one thousand tears of joy. Of course, such tears aren’t easy to come by. As Meg begins her quest, she finds herself drawn into the lives of her friends and neighbors in ways she never imagined. By sharing their burdens and using her magic to comfort them, she learns how precious those moments of connection can be even in the face of death.

To give oneself over to the desire for victory, as all must do in war, is a sickness unto death.General Romel’s heroic exploits resulted in the replenishment of the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps.

But even with the whole world against her, Major Tanya von Degurechaff will march into hell if she must…

The Empire has long watered its fields with conflict, but now they are in for a flood—Tanya’s predicted World War has come at last. The Imperial pursuit follows Republican forces-in-exile to the deserts of the Southern Continent…Another front could mean another yearslong quagmire and another vast sacrifice of human resources. Or if Tanya and Major General Romel have their way, it might mean a swift advance and one more continent conquered…

It’s all storm and stress for the Free François Republic, as the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps advances lightning-quick across the Republic’s colonial holdouts. General Romel sends forth wave after wave of unconventional maneuvers, and it’s not long before Tanya’s 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion is part of the tide...!

But saving a kingdom is no small task, and responsibility isn’t a game either sibling claims to have a high score in… Good thing the allure of more challenging contests (and sexy animal women) is all the motivation they need to set their sights on a new conquest—Immanity’s powerful neighbor, the Eastern Union!

After surviving the Commonwealth’s assault, the 203rd Battalion advances toward Parisii, the capital of the François Republic. Mocking the Republican Army’s feeble attempts at resistance, Tanya assures herself that there’s no way the Empire could get Dunkirk’ed like its equivalent from her previous life—but when her knowledge of history clues her in to something no one else can see, she may have to take matters into her own hands...
