Andrew Minyard is a bored cadet in an Air Cavalry Academy he doesn't care for. Nathaniel Wesninski is a political hostage with nothing left to lose and a burning desire to join said Academy. No matter the obstacles - whether it's Riko's constant abuse or societal censure against omegas joining the cadets - Nathaniel will join the Foxes. He will. What does it matter if he serves the Empire that conquered his home, the same Empire that threw him into Riko's hands? Nathaniel has a plan, and he will do anything to see it through. What he hadn't factored in was to find people who cared so much, or to make promises he wanted to keep. Nathaniel was only ever good to break them, that he knew. If he was to find family on the way, well... what's the worst thing that could happen?
