I'm the founder and president of The Literary Lifestyle, an authentic community that helps busy women relax, learn, and embrace a very cozy way of life. FIVE. FREAKING. STARS. There is no universe where I could give this book any less of a rating' ***** Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .

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.This book contains an addictive, drug like essence that will make you relinquish all responsibility until the very last word. Do not say I didn't warn you' Glamour In fact, as the first sentence of the book warns, the day on which entry is sought is the deadliest. And even if she makes it through, as her mother, older sister Mira, and older brother Brennan did, only a fraction will live to graduate. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. 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.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end. This book contains an addictive, drug like essence that will make you relinquish all responsibility until the very last word. Do not say I didn’t warn you’– Glamour I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, and when I finished, I had the overwhelming urge to just start it all over again' ***** READER REVIEW 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.

They incinerate them. I think that what’s made it so universally successful is that she balances the escapism of fantasy, romance, and dragons with the harsh realities of the real world (namely, war and the telling of history). And, she does so with a lot of rich details that make it utterly unique and truly memorable. Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers.
