Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to be living a quiet life among books and history. Now, 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. 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, and the death toll continues to rise. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda-because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.
