Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as 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—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

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, 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.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

abridged?

do you like 90s sitcoms with random claps and sound bites? then you won't have an issue. 81/0 not too distracting. like other have said Tarins voice doesn't match, some actors voices are too similar to tell who's talking. story is abridged. also pronunciation of 'Macabre'? fingers crossed they figure out how to say 'armoire' for the next part 🤦‍♀️😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Like it but…..

Our main boys needed a deep voice!!!! But not a bad listen at all!! Still love it!

This verison is chef's kiss!!

The story is so much better with the different voices. Sound effects really make it that much better. I even have my husband into this series now.

The sound effects and music

Everything is amazing, the sounds and background music make it easier to visualize each moment in the book and the different narrators make each voice much more distinct and recognizable.

Love it!!

I’ve already read the book through Iron Flame as well as listened to all of Fantasy Fangirls podcast. Now I’m rereading via this dramatized version. Can’t wait for all the dramatized versions of this series (in the future)!
