FRIENDS. ENEMIES. LOVERS . . .
EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA
Violet Sorrengail expected to live a quiet life surrounded by books, until she was forced onto the world's deadliest training ground. Now she must fight to join the army's elite: dragon riders. But dragons don't choose fragile riders, they incinerate them, and when your body breaks as easily as Violet's does - death is only a heartbeat away.
EVERY NIGHT COULD BE YOUR LAST
Many cadets would kill Violet to better their own chances of success; the rest would kill her just because of her last name . . . including the ruthless Xaden Riorson, her family's greatest enemy. With the odds stacked against her, Violet must use every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise, because once you enter Basgiath War College, there are only two ways out:
GRADUATE OR DIE

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romance author Yarros (The Things We Leave Unfinished) blends the epic tale of a reluctant dragon rider's coming-of-age with a sexy dark academia aesthetic in her astounding debut fantasy. Fearsome General Sorrengail demands that her children follow in her footsteps as dragon riders—even her youngest, Violet, who has trained her whole life to be a scribe like her late father. Forced to join a deadly war academy, Violet is unprepared to perform the fatal tasks all cadets must complete to become dragon riders. The odds are stacked against her due both to her delicate stature and to her mother's reputation: it was Sorrengail who gave the order to execute all separatists in the last rebellion. The rebels' orphaned children have all been conscripted to the academy, putting a target on Violet's back. Worse, her own brooding but handsome wing leader, third-year student Xaden Riorson, is the son of the separatists' leader. Meanwhile, the wards that protect the city are failing, but as danger draws nearer, clever Violet grows stronger, discovering that riding dragons may be her destiny after all. Yarros's worldbuilding is intricate without being overbearing, setting the stage for Violet's satisfying growth into a force to be reckoned with. Readers will be spellbound and eager for more.
