Seventeen-year-old Revna works at a factory where combat vehicles are assembled. One day she becomes careless: she is caught using forbidden magic, and now she faces charges of treason and prison. Meanwhile, her peer Linne defies her general father and enlists in the army, pretending to be... a guy. After all, girls are not accepted into the army. Instead of punishment, both are offered to become pilots in the first female squad and go on a deadly operation. The novel "We Rule by Night", the plot of which is based on the true story of the "night witches", Russian pilots of the Second World War, is an amazing book about difficult friendships, self-sacrifice and the will to win against all odds.
