Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone as Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Dragons? Dragon riders? Dragon rider college? Yes, please!

My friend recommended this book to me, and I immediately want to enroll in Basgiath War College as a dragon rider! This book has some amazingly written characters. My opinions of some of them changed so many times, and the twists! I found myself gasping out loud as I read them. I am impatiently and obsessively waiting for the second book to come out, but I am beyond excited that this is going to be a five book series! Because who doesn’t love dragons?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (can't live without it)
