About this book

Violet Sorrengail was supposed to spend her life quietly among books, but her commanding general mother has other plans—she's forcing her fragile daughter into a brutal war college where dragon riders are forged. Outnumbered, outmatched, and surrounded by cadets who'd love to see her dead (especially the dangerously powerful Xaden Riorson), Violet has to rely on her wits and sheer determination to survive bonding with a dragon. As she fights for every breath in this cutthroat world, she uncovers secrets that suggest the kingdom's troubles run far deeper than anyone's willing to admit. This is enemies-to-lovers fantasy with heart-pounding action, delicious tension, and a heroine who refuses to be underestimated—absolutely impossible to put down!
