Violet Sorrengail expected a quiet life in the Scribe Quadrant, until her mother forces her to enter Basgiath War College and train as a dragon rider instead. Physically unprepared but fiercely intelligent, Violet must rely on wit and resilience to survive a brutal academy where failure means death. As alliances shift and secrets begin to surface, she realizes trusting the wrong person could be just as dangerous as the dragons themselves.

A true page-turner, this is the kind of book that book clubs devour — finishing with theories, strong opinions, and an immediate need to dive into the next one together.
