A Young Girl's Outer Heaven (Youjo Senki)

Tanya von Degurechaff knew the war would end in betrayal. When the Empire’s leaders offer her as a scapegoat to their enemies, she refuses to kneel. With her elite Salamander Kampfgruppe at her back, she seizes a remote fortress and declares it Outer Heaven—a sovereign nation for soldiers forsaken by their homeland. But survival demands more than defiance. Surrounded by vengeful foes and dwindling supplies, Tanya must outmaneuver entire armies with nothing but ruthless tactics, forbidden magic, and the loyalty of those she once commanded. As the world tightens its noose, she walks a razor’s edge between pragmatism and madness, forging a path where only the strong—or the cunning—survive. The question isn’t whether Outer Heaven will fall, but how many will burn trying to crush it.
