Jessica Reynolds was born on March 25, 1998 in Ireland. She is an Irish actress, best known for her roles in Kneecap (2024), Outlander (2014) and The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw (2020). In 2019, Reynolds was cast as Audrey Earnshaw in the 2020 Canadian film The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw. Filming took place in Canada, resulting in her graduation from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts being postponed. Reynolds described the film as being "about a woman in society just trying to find her place the best she can in that moment." In 2020, Reynolds starred as Rachael in the comedy series My Left Nut, which aired on BBC Three. The series was well-received by critics, with The Guardian saying that it was "equal parts charmingly funny and strangely sincere". In March 2021, Reynolds was cast as Malva Christie in the sixth season of Outlander, alongside Mark Lewis Jones and Alexander Vlahos as Tom and Allan Christie, respectively. Reynolds said that Malva was "at the end of the day just a scared little girl who's been brought up by men and not been able to find her place." On the stage, Reynolds has portrayed Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, Rachel in Second Person Narrative and Alais in The Lion in Winter.
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. Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies... or even lovers. But sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
