About this book
Violet thought surviving her first year at Basgiath War College was impossible—turns out that was just the warm-up. Now she's facing an even more brutal second year where the stakes are higher, the training is relentless, and a vindictive new vice commandant seems determined to break her. But Violet's got something most riders don't: a razor-sharp mind, unshakeable willpower, and dangerous secrets about what's really happening at the college that could change everything. With her heart caught between duty and love, she'll have to trust her wits and her dragons to survive what's coming—because the truth she's uncovered might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

“I can complain about Onyx Storm and Fourth Wing all day every day, but this was a book with a War College, Dragon Riders, and a love triangle.”
