Intro. Violet Sorrengail always dreamed of being a scribe, a student away from the battlefield. But her mother, the dreaded general of Navarre, forces her to enter the Basgiath Guerra College to become dragon rider.
In this brutal Military College, where the weak die and the strong are linked to dragons, Violet must fight to survive. It is more physically fragile than others, but stands out for their intelligence, strategy and tenacity.
