Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

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.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.


I'm absolutely obsessed. I've already written 4 fanfics in my brain for this book and I just finished it this morning. I am SO glad that Rebecca Yarros isn't keeping us in suspense for too long. Even though she left us on that cliff hanger!!!! 

Violet is a girl after my own heart. She just wants to hang out in the library reading and transcribing books. But her mom is out here crushing that dream and telling her she has to go outside and train to be a dragon rider. In the riders' quadrant if the assignments don't kill you, your classmates just might! Surely this isn't her mom's way of getting rid of the "weak link" in their family....right?

There is so much intrigue and deception happening in this book. I read it, and I still don't know everything that's going on! I DID know that I enjoyed myself SO much. I could not stop listening! Come on Iron Flame!!!!
