In France a deadly battle is raging in the skies, but Scarlett Quinn has been shuffled off to reconnaissance duty in an ailing biplane that has seen better days. However, fate will put her in the cross-hairs of one of Germany's greatest aces, behind enemy lines and way over her head. Completing her mission will be no easy task, and Scarlett must use her wits and skills if she wants to return safely back to earth. Aladdin and His Wonderfully Infernal Device by Tee Morris Aladdin is a street-wise thief that finds himself under the tutelage of a world-renown illusionist.

What she will find there will change her fate forever.
