Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders.<\/b><\/p>\n
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now the commanding general\u2014also known as her tough-as-talons mother\u2014has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.<\/p>\n
But when you\u2019re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don\u2019t bond to \u201cfragile\u201d humans; they incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother\u2019s daughter\u2014like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She\u2019ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.<\/p>\n
Yet with every day that passes, the war outside grows deadlier; 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.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
