About the book
The one that turned half of BookTok into dragon riders. Violet is the frail one in a war college built to kill the weak, and the man who should be her biggest threat keeps showing up to make sure she survives. Fast, bloody, medium spice, and you'll be buying the second book at 2 a.m.
