Review:
Violet Sorrengail had intended to enter the Scribe Quadrant. Instead, her mother, a general, forces her to enter the Riders Quadrant where, if she survives, she'll become a dragon rider. For Violet, who's always been physically fragile, this is pretty much a death sentence. Honestly, for many people this is a death sentence - there are lots of opportunities for cadets to die before they even get a chance to bond with a dragon, and the dragons themselves aren't exactly safe to be around.
All Violet has on her side is her wits and advice from her sister Mira, a talented rider. She'll need everything at her disposal in order to survive, especially when she learns Xaden Riorson is one of the wingleaders in the Riders Quadrant. Violet's mother killed Xaden's father, and now Xaden has the power to make Violet's life miserable and set her up for an early death.
