The Empire is a powerful military nation on a continent that looks much like early 20th century Europe. But in this world, magic is real.  The Empire is involved in a war against the Entente Alliance, and fighting a poorly executed delaying action in the northern theater. Second Lieutenant Tanya Degurechaff leads a small platoon of mages.  But there's something unusual about this lieutenant... she's only nine years old!
In a cursed world,
always engulfed in the flames of war,
،في عالمٍ ملعونٍ لم تُخمد فيه نيران الحرب أبدًا
In einer verfluchten Welt, in der die
Flammen des Krieges niemals versiegten,
En un mundo maldito, 
donde las guerras nunca pararon,
En un mundo maldito,
donde las guerras nunca han parado,
Dans ce monde gangrené
par des guerres incessantes,
In un mondo maledetto
dalle inestinguibili fiamme della guerra
Em um mundo abominável, onde 
as chamas da guerra não cessam,
В этом проклятом мире,
где не угасает огонь войны,
