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 at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Read, don’t listen on audiobook! I’ve done both. When read, these characters are so enjoyable, and their dynamic between each other are a major reason why this series is so beloved. The main character Violet even helped change my identity around working out as a non-athlete! When fiction has real life impact, that’s a world class novel. Unfortunately on audiobook, the voices are whiney, endlessly sarcastic, generally annoying, and don’t match the basic descriptions of the characters. When I read this book, the main character had badass, Gal Gadot Wonder Woman vibes. When I listened on audiobook, all I could think about was the movie “the kissing booth” and the 16 year old lead whining about everything. Seriously, it’s the difference between a 5 star book & a 3.5/4 star book. Otherwise, enjoy this series & get wrapped up in all its lore - you will be hooked! 🥰
