Violet was going to be a Scribe like her father. She had been studying her entire life. Six months ago, her mother, General Lilith Sorrengail, decided Violet would be a Rider and her life was turned upside down. Where the other twenty-year-old cadets had been practicing their whole lives, she had six months to prepare. The major problem with this change is the fact Violet is fragile. An injury is a major setback for her. Her bones break and muscles tear with little force. If she survives training, will a dragon choose to bond with her, or will they see her fragility as a weakness? There are two men in her life. Dain is her squad leader and wants to save her by getting her out of the program. Xaden is the wing leader and wants to kill her as vengeance for the death of his father.
This is the first book in the series. The story has a quick pace, the characters are well developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I was immediately drawn into the story and could not wait to start the next book in the series. If you like dragon fantasy stories, you will like this book.
