Description
When a cutthroat band of greedy mercenary pilots was tasked with recovering a priceless hoard of treasures from its hiding place in the lawless interior of a remote province, a perfidious betrayal in the Oriental skies was the only possible outcome. One of the defeated survivors of the treacherous aerial slaughter was Viktoria Maximiliane Luise Freifrau von und zu Stein von Greiffenstein, a Prussian Junkerin seeking fortune in the Far East after finding nothing but devastation and desolation on the long road from the fields of Flanders to the windswept Himalayan peaks. Isolated and alone with no hope of rescue in a foreign land, it is only then that her adventure truly began.

Love the origin story so much! It really creates a contrast with her later adventures. People born into such lives are more accepting. To suffer such a downfall, from royalty and power to subservience and degradation, the emotions and senses go through so much change as to boggle the mind.
Two thoughts: If she ever returns home, will she try to forget her past ... or will she cling to it with a touch of masochistic fondness?
Secondly, some might argue this is yet another reason for women to stay out of direct combat. It seems that our young mercenary has utilized her femininity to survive where most men would have been executed on the spot. Just sayin'.
