Rebecca Yarros

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


Denise (drams5) | 323 comments Given the length of this one, I thought it would take me a while to read it. I flew through it in a couple of days. I almost didn't read it because Fantasy isn't really my thing, but it was pretty good! Reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games, only with dragons.

Good to know that it goes quickly because it is definitely a longer-than-average read. I like your characterization -- Hunger Games but with dragons... LOL!

I'll be starting this once I finish my current book. Hunger Games with dragons is definitely catching my attention!

Finished this book last night and totally loved it. Why did I let it sit on my shelves for 2 months?! I'll definitely be buying the next book when it's out!
