About this book
Violet has spent eighteen months preparing for war, and now the real battle is finally here—with danger creeping in from every direction, inside the college walls and out. Desperate to save Navarre from falling, she ventures beyond the protective wards into unknown territories to forge alliances with new powers, all while carrying a secret so monumental it could shatter everything she's built. As Violet races to uncover the truth that might turn the tide of war, she'll have to navigate impossible choices, test the limits of her strength, and decide what she's willing to sacrifice for the people and dragons she loves. An onyx storm is brewing, and survival won't be guaranteed for everyone caught in its path.
