After spending nearly a year and a half at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail realizes that time for training and indecision has run out. The conflict has fully erupted, with foes emerging both from beyond and within their fortifications, making trust a scarce commodity.

Violet is now compelled to venture past the weakening Aretian barriers to forge alliances in foreign territories to support Navarre. This journey will challenge her intelligence, fortune, and endurance to the utmost, yet she’s prepared to sacrifice everything for her dragons, her family, her homeland, and him.

Even if it means harboring a secret so profound, it could shatter all they hold dear. They require an army, power, magic, and something only Violet can provide—the truth. However, a storm looms on the horizon…and not everyone will make it through its fury.
