The Empyrean (Book 1)
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general - her mother - has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates
striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. With fewer dragons 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. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda - because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
