Violet Sorrengail never expected to survive her first day at Basgiath War College, let alone become a dragon rider. A twenty-year-old woman with a connective tissue condition that leaves her fragile and in constant pain, Violet is supposed to become a scribe—a quiet, safe position befitting her physical limitations. Instead, her commanding general mother orders her into the Riders Quadrant, where candidates train to bond with dragons and become the kingdom's most powerful warriors. Violet must navigate a brutal, cutthroat environment where her peers see her as a liability, where dragons can incinerate candidates on a whim, and where the stakes of war loom ever larger. As she discovers hidden truths about the war, the dragons, and the college itself, Violet realizes that survival means more than just staying alive—it means uncovering dangerous secrets that could reshape everything. With the help of a dangerously attractive wingleader and her own fierce determination, Violet fights to prove that strength comes in unexpected forms.
