(version save)
At twenty years of age, Lydia had been married early but happily. She had entered a privileged social class and enjoyed the opportunity of higher education, all through the blessings of a chance encounter.


Thirty months ago, a mysterious horde crossed the snow-capped mountains. They fell upon the Polisian Federation like the scourge of death, leaving cities in smoldering ruins and bloodied corpses as far as the eye can see.
However the joys of family proved fickle compared to the fate of states. After a mysterious horde from the east invaded her home country, Lydia’s entire life came crashing down.


Desperate to stop the tide of destruction, Lydia's home country raised one army after another to face the enemy. But a string of defeats left only fields of white bones. Entire noble bloodlines perished in the brutality of war, while men from fifteen-year-old boys to elderly grandfathers were conscripted and sent to their deaths.
The Eastling scourge brought forth a holocaust of destruction, leaving cities in smoldering ruins and bloodied corpses far as the eye can see. The brutality of war consumed noble bloodlines and peasant communities alike, as a string of battlefield defeats saw generations of men reduced to fields of white bones.


In this darkest hour, the Federation received a divine blessing. The Protectress of Samara offered an otherworldly gift: one of the greatest military masterminds that the distant realm of Earth had ever seen.
For the first time in Polisian history, necessity pressed the military to conscript women. Lydia unexpectedly found herself near the center of attention, where she met the Protectress of Samara once again. A divine gift offered hope for her entire country: one of the greatest military masterminds that time had ever seen, brought in from the distant realm of Earth.


Yet no matter how brilliant he was, one man could hardly turn the course of an entire war. He would have to cooperate with Lydia and an inexperienced female officer corps, to build a winning force in ways that no nation had ever attempted: through the mass conscription of women.
However, no man could change history on his own. He would have to cooperate with Lydia, plus an inexperienced female officer corps that he openly mocked. Victory or annihilation hung in the balance. But one fact stood for certain:
 
The roles and expectations of society would never remain the same.


Only one fact stood for certain: regardless of victory or defeat, society would never remain the same... and neither will he or any other soul who fought.

The Flowers in Boreal Twilight

Story Synopsis

At twenty years of age, Lydia had been married early but happily. She had entered a privileged social class and enjoyed the opportunity of higher education, all through the blessings of a chance encounter.

However the joys of family proved fickle compared to the fate of states. After a mysterious horde from the east invaded her home country, Lydia’s entire life came crashing down.

The Eastling scourge brought forth a holocaust of destruction, leaving cities in smoldering ruins and bloodied corpses far as the eye can see. The brutality of war consumed noble bloodlines and peasant communities alike, as a string of battlefield defeats saw generations of men reduced to fields of white bones.

For the first time in Polisian history, necessity pressed the military to conscript women. Lydia unexpectedly found herself near the center of attention, where she met the Protectress of Samara once again. A divine gift offered hope for her entire country: one of the greatest military masterminds that time had ever seen, brought in from the distant realm of Earth.

However, no man could change history on his own. He would have to cooperate with Lydia, plus an inexperienced female officer corps that he openly mocked. Victory or annihilation hung in the balance. But one fact stood for certain:

The roles and expectations of society would never remain the same.
