A new adult novel from Entangled's Embrace imprint... Three knocks can change everything… "She knew. That’s why Mom hadn’t opened the door. She knew he was dead." Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too. The soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. What she didn’t know was how she would find the strength to singlehandedly care for her crumbling family when her mom falls apart. Then Josh Walker enters her life. Hockey star, her new next-door neighbor, and not to mention the most delicious hands that insist on saving her over and over again. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can’t deny their intense attraction. Until Josh’s secret shatters their world. And Ember must decide if he’s worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare.

Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane goes down in the Missouri River. Their lives change. They change. Nate goes on to a career in the military while Izzy finds her way into politics. Despite a few chance encounters over the years, the timing never feels right. Then comes a high-stakes reunion in Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy’s life. He’ll do anything to keep her safe. And everything to win her heart.

Depois de quase dezoito meses no Instituto Militar Basgiath, Violet Sorrengail sabe que não há mais tempo para lições. Não há mais espaço para incertezas.

Agora, Violet precisa viajar para além das enfraquecidas defesas de Aretia, a fim de buscar em terras desconhecidas aliados dispostos a lutar ao lado de Navarre. Essa jornada testará os limites de sua inteligência, bem como de sua sorte e de seu poder, mas Violet estará disposta a tudo o que for preciso para salvar o que mais ama: seus dragões, sua família, sua casa e ele . Mesmo que isso signifique guardar um segredo grande o bastante para destruir tudo. Eles precisam de um exército. Eles precisam de poder. Eles precisam de magia. E precisam de algo que só Violet pode encontrar: a verdade. Mas uma tempestade está se formando... e nem todos sobreviverão a sua fúria.

Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel… even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit. Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished.

There are some debts you can’t repay. Josh Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl’s dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school hockey days. Together they have survived grief, the military, distance, and time as they’ve fought for stolen weekends between his post at Ft. Rucker and her college at Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and Ember is headed toward graduation, they’re moving on—and in—together. Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates—even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a country that nearly killed him once before and that took her father. But filling their last days together with love, passion, and plans for their future doesn’t temper Ember’s fear, and if there’s one thing she’s learned from her father’s death, it’s that there are some obstacles even love can’t conquer. Flight school is over. This is war.

Be careful what you wish for... Lt. Grayson Masters is focused on graduating the Apache helicopter course, and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate Samantha Fitzgerald distracting him. While her smart mouth and free spirit are irresistibly irritating, he can't deny their off-the-charts chemistry, no matter how hard he tries. Having just been expelled from college, Sam has no business digging for Grayson's secrets while she's hiding her own, but that doesn't stop her from trying to tear down his walls. Each barrier she busts through drops one of her own, though, and she's not prepared for the truth: another woman laid claim to Grayson's heart long ago. Falling in love is something neither Grayson nor Sam can afford, and when that line is crossed and secrets are exposed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers that will put you through hell.

Since her sister's death, twenty-year-old Paisley Donovan, who shares her sister’s heart condition, is treated like delicate glass by her parents. But nothing will stop her from completing her Bucket List—even if it kills her. And it almost does, until Jagger Bateman pulls her from the ocean and breathes more than air into her lungs—he sets her soul on fire. Jagger is enrolled in the country's toughest flight school. He's wickedly hot, reckless, and perfect for a girl looking to live life to the fullest. Except that Paisley is the commanding general's daughter, and her boyfriend is Jagger's biggest rival. Now Paisley must decide just how much to risk for a guy who makes her heart pound a little too hard. They're flying through dangerous territory—and one wrong move could make them crash and burn...

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door. At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why. It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable―she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer. She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery. He’s a crash waiting to happen. Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

Runtime: 7.87 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.

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros comes a brand-new small town, older-brother’s best friend standalone romance. “I’ll take them!” That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his. Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back. Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work— We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system. Suddenly, everything matters.

There’s no rule in extreme sports she hasn’t broken, No gender barrier she hasn’t demolished. She’s the woman I met in a bar in Vegas. The woman I illegally BASE jumped for.

I’m Dr. Cruz Delgado—the youngest professor on this campus, And Penelope Carstairs just walked into my class.

Entra no mundo brutal, mágico e envolvente de uma escola de elite para cavaleiros de dragões. Violet Sorrengail, de vinte anos, deveria ter entrado no Quadrante dos Copistas, e viver uma vida tranquila entre livros e história. Contudo, a general comandante, que também é a sua mãe, ordenou-lhe que se juntasse às centenas de candidatos que se esforçam por se tornarem elite de Navarre: os cavaleiros de dragões. Mas quando és mais pequena do que todos os outros e o teu corpo é frágil, a morte está apenas a um batimento cardíaco de distância… porque os dragões não se ligam a humanos frágeis. Eles reduzem-nos a cinzas. Num cenário com mais cadetes do que dragões, muitos matariam Violet para aumentar as suas hipóteses de sucesso. Outros matariam apenas por ela ser filha de quem é - tal como Xaden Riorson, o líder mais poderoso e implacável do Quadrante dos Cavaleiros. Para sobreviver, Violet vai precisar de usar toda a sua inteligência. No entanto, a cada dia que passa, a guerra lá fora torna-se mais mortífera, as proteções do reino estão a falhar e o número de mortos continua a aumentar. E Violet começa a suspeitar que a liderança está a esconder um segredo terrível. Amigos, inimigos, amantes. Todos na Escola de Guerra Basgiath têm um objetivo - porque, quando se entra, só há duas maneiras de sair: concluir as provas ou morrer.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

A ESPERADA SEQUÊNCIA DO FENÔMENO MUNDIAL QUARTA ASA! LIVRO #2 DA SÉRIE "O EMPYRIANO": UM ROMANCE ELETRIZANTE, REPLETO DE REVIRAVOLTAS. “O primeiro ano é quando alguns de nós perdemos nossas vidas. O segundo ano é quando o resto de nós perde nossa humanidade.” ― Xaden Riorson Todos esperavam que Violet Sorrengail morresse durante seu primeiro ano no Instituto Militar Basgiath... inclusive ela própria. Mas a Ceifa foi apenas o primeiro teste, cujo objetivo maior era eliminar os mais fracos, os considerados indignos e os mais azarados. No entanto, agora começa o verdadeiro treinamento, e Violet já se pergunta como – e se – vai conseguir sobreviver. Não apenas porque o processo é extremamente exaustivo e repleto de armadilhas, ou porque cada etapa é projetada para levar os novos cavaleiros aos limites da dor e do sofrimento, mas por causa do novo vice-comandante, que parece ter como missão pessoal convencer Violet de que ela jamais será capaz de controlar suas habilidades extraordinárias... a menos que traia o homem que ama. Embora o corpo de Violet seja mais fraco e frágil do que o de todos os demais cavaleiros, ela pode contar com sua inteligência, além de uma determinação de ferro. E ela ainda se lembra da lição mais importante que Basgiath lhe ensinou: cavaleiros de dragão fazem suas próprias regras. Mas inteligência, determinação e força de vontade não serão suficientes esse ano, já que Violet descobrirá um segredo escondido por séculos, e nada, nem mesmo o mais poderoso fogo de dragão, pode ser suficiente para salvá-los no final.

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him. Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath. Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Un dragón sin su jinete es una tragedia. Un jinete sin su dragón está muerto. —Artículo uno, sección uno del Código de jinetes de dragones. Violet Sorrengail creía que a sus veinte años se uniría al Cuadrante de los Escribas para vivir una vida tranquila, estudiando sus amados libros y las historias antiguas que tanto le fascinan. Sin embargo, por órdenes de su madre, la temida comandante general, Violet debe unirse a los miles de candidatos que luchan por formar parte de la élite de los jinetes de dragones. Cuando eres más pequeña y frágil que los demás tu vida corre peligro, porque los dragones no se vinculan con humanos débiles; de hecho, los incineran. Sumado a esto, con más jinetes que dragones disponibles, buena parte de los candidatos mataría a Violet con tal de mejorar sus probabilidades de éxito; otros, como el despiadado Xaden Riorson, el líder de ala más poderoso del Cuadrante, la asesinarían simplemente por ser la hija de la comandante general. Para sobrevivir, necesitará aprovechar al máximo todo su ingenio. Día tras día, la guerra que se libra al exterior del Colegio se torna más letal, las defensas del reino se debilitan y los muertos aumentan. Por si fuera poco, Violet sospecha que los líderes de Navarre esconden un terrible secreto. Amistad, rivalidad y pasión... en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath todos tienen una agenda oculta y saben que una vez adentro solo hay dos graduarse o morir.

«En el primer año algunos pierden la vida. En el segundo año, los que sobrevivimos perdemos la compasión». —Xaden Riorson Todos esperaban que Violet Sorrengail muriera en su primer año en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath, incluso ella misma. Pero la Trilla fue tan solo la primera de una serie de pruebas imposibles destinadas a deshacerse de los pusilánimes, los indignos y los desafortunados. Ahora comienza el verdadero entrenamiento y Violet no sabe cómo logrará superarlo. No solo porque es brutal y agotador ni porque está diseñado para llevar al límite el umbral del dolor de los jinetes, sino porque el nuevo vicecomandante está empeñado en demostrar a Violet lo débil que es a menos que traicione al hombre que ama. Aunque el cuerpo de Violet es más frágil que el de sus compañeros, su fuerza radica en su ingenio y voluntad de hierro. Además, los líderes están olvidando la lección más importante que Basgiath les ha enseñ los jinetes de dragones crean sus propias reglas. La voluntad de sobrevivir no será suficiente este año, porque Violet conoce el secreto que se oculta entre los muros del colegio y nada, ni siquiera el fuego de dragón, será suficiente para salvarlos.

“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” —Xaden Riorson Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through.

Tras casi dieciocho meses en el Colegio de Guerra Basgiath, Violet Sorrengail tiene claro que no queda tiempo para entrenar. Hay que tomar decisiones. La batalla ha comenzado y, con enemigos acercándose a las murallas e infiltrados en sus propias filas, es imposible saber en quién confiar. Ahora Violet deberá emprender un viaje fuera de los límites de Aretia, en busca de aliados de tierras desconocidas que acepten pelear por Navarre. La misión pondrá a prueba su suerte, y la obligará a usar todo su ingenio y fortaleza para salvar lo que más ama: sus dragones, su familia, su hogar y a él. Aunque eso signifique tener que guardar un secreto tan peligroso que podría destruirlo todo. Navarre necesita un ejército. Necesita poder. Necesita magia. Y necesitará algo que solo Violet puede encontrar: la verdad. Pero una tormenta se aproxima… y no todos sobrevivirán a su furia.

Ένας δράκος δίχως ιππέα είναι τραγωδία. Ένας ιππέας δίχως δράκο είναι νεκρός. ΑΡΘΡΟ ΕΝΑ, ΕΝΟΤΗΤΑ ΕΝΑ, Ο ΚΩΔΙΚΑΣ ΤΩΝ ΙΠΠΕΩΝ «Υπάρχει κανένας άλλος που θέλει να αλλάξει γνώμη;» φωνάζει ο Ζέιντεν κοιτάζοντας τους υπόλοιπους δόκιμους με το ίδιο μοχθηρό βλέμμα που έχει ο μπλε δράκος πίσω του. «Όχι; Τέλεια. Περίπου οι μισοί από εσάς θα είστε νεκροί μέχρι το επόμενο καλοκαίρι». Όλοι στον σχηματισμό είναι σιωπηλοί και μόνο κάτι πνιχτοί λυγμοί ακούγονται αριστερά μου. «Το ένα τρίτο από σας θα έχει πεθάνει το δεύτερο έτος και άλλοι τόσοι το τρίτο. Εδώ κανείς δεν νοιάζεται για το ποια είναι η μαμά ή ο μπαμπάς σας. Ακόμα και ο δεύτερος γιος του βασιλιά Τάουρι πέθανε στη διάρκεια της Επιλογής. Επομένως για πείτε μου πάλι: Νιώθετε αήττητοι τώρα που καταφέρατε να φτάσετε στο Τεταρτημόριο των Ιππέων; Νιώθετε άφθαρτοι; Νιώθετε πως είστε στην ελίτ;» Κανείς δεν ζητωκραυγάζει τώρα. Με χτυπάει ακόμα ένα καυτό κύμα, αυτή τη φορά κατευθείαν στο πρόσωπο και σφίγγομαι ολόκληρη στην αποτέφρωση που με περιμένει. Όμως δεν είναι φλόγες… είναι απλώς ατμός που τινάζει προς τα πίσω τις πλεξούδες της Ριάνον καθώς οι δράκοι ξεφυσούν ταυτόχρονα. Το παντελόνι του πρωτοετούς μπροστά μου μαυρίζει, το χρώμα απλώνεται στα πόδια του. Θέλουν να τους φοβόμαστε. Τα κατάφεραν. «Διότι γι’ αυτούς δεν είστε ούτε άφθαρτοι ούτε κάτι το ιδιαίτερο». Ο Ζέιντεν δείχνει τον μπλε δράκο και σκύβει λίγο μπροστά κοιτώντας μας στα μάτια σαν να θέλει να μας πει κάποιο μυστικό. «Γι’ αυτούς, είστε απλώς θήραμα». Γνωρίστε τον βάρβαρο και ελίτ κόσμο της στρατιωτικής σχολής για ιππείς δράκων στο best seller βιβλίο της Rebecca Yarros. Η εικοσάχρονη Βάιολετ Σόρενγκεϊλ υπό κανονικές συνθήκες θα έμπαινε στο Τεταρτημόριο των Γραφέων και θα ζούσε μια ήσυχη ζωή παρέα με τα βιβλία της. Τώρα, η διοικητής στρατηγός –και σκληρόκαρδη μητέρα της– έχει διατάξει τη Βάιολετ να ακολουθήσει τους εκατοντάδες υποψηφίους που λαχταρούν να γίνουν η ελίτ του Ναβάρ… αφού πρώτα γίνουν ιππείς δράκων. Επειδή όμως είναι η πιο μικροκαμωμένη απ’ όλους και το σώμα της είναι εύθραυστο, ο θάνατος φαντάζει μόνο μια ανάσα μακριά… Αφενός, διότι οι δράκοι δεν συνδέονται με «εύθραυστους» ανθρώπους. Αντίθετα, τους αποτεφρώνουν. Αφετέρου, διότι οι άλλοι υποψήφιοι ιππείς θέλουν να σκοτώσουν τη Βάιολετ. Καθώς οι δράκοι που είναι πρόθυμοι να συνδεθούν είναι λιγότεροι από τους δόκιμους, οι περισσότεροι υποψήφιοι βλέπουν στον θάνατο της Βάιολετ την αύξηση των δικών τους πιθανοτήτων. Πολλοί, όμως, θέλουν να τη σκοτώσουν απλώς και μόνο επειδή είναι κόρη της μητέρας της – όπως ο Ζέιντεν Ράιερσον, ο πιο ισχυρός και αδίστακτος αρχηγός πτέρυγας στο Τεταρτημόριο των Ιππέων. Η Βάιολετ θα χρειαστεί κάθε ρανίδα της εξυπνάδας της για να μπορέσει να αντικρίσει την επόμενη ανατολή. Ωστόσο, κάθε μέρα που περνάει ο πόλεμος έξω γίνεται όλο και πιο άγριος, οι μαγικοί θάλαμοι του βασιλείου αποδυναμώνονται και οι νεκροί συνεχίζουν να αυξάνονται. Και το χειρότερο; Η Βάιολετ αρχίζει να υποπτεύεται ότι οι αρχηγοί κρύβουν ένα τρομερό μυστικό. Φίλοι, εχθροί, εραστές. Όλοι στη στρατιωτική σχολή Μπασγκάιαθ έχουν μια ατζέντα – διότι μόλις μπεις, μόνο δύο τρόποι υπάρχουν να βγεις: ή να αποφοιτήσεις ή να πεθάνεις.

Don't worry, her cut-throat-manager/mom paid top dollar to keep it quiet.

Against the backdrop of the birth of MTV, they'll have to choose between the demands of their label, and the demands of the heart.

Nine years ago, Weston Madigan saved me. I came to Colorado penniless, heartbroken, and pregnant, searching for a fresh start. Weston gave me a job at his family’s resort, then left the next day and never returned, not even to visit. Then I stumble in on Weston cooking breakfast shirtless—gloriously, inappropriately shirtless—in the shared kitchen of my duplex in employee housing. Given the shock on both our faces, he wasn’t expecting a roommate either, let alone two. The growly pilot is only home to start his family’s new heli-skiing operation. I can handle being his temporary roommate, right? Chemistry and attraction aren’t impossible to ignore when you agree on ground rules. Besides, even with those gorgeous, brooding brown eyes, the guy is a walking thundercloud…until my daughter, Sutton, makes him laugh and he smiles at me. Then everything changes. Cue inconvenient heart flip. This is only temporary. I can’t fall for Weston. I. Will. Not. Fall. For. Weston. But rules go out the window when you’re a little too close.

If I can keep Hush Note’s leading guitarist, Nixon Winters, on the straight and narrow for the next six months, I’ll finally get my own band to manage—assuming we don’t kill each other first. The egotistical, irritating rock star is fresh out of rehab, but it’s obvious his demons followed him home—and now I’m sleeping down the hall. I’ve watched him self-destruct every summer, and with album deadlines and tour dates looming, I can’t let it happen again. My career is in his hands. But tattoos can’t cover every scar, and I’m starting to see through his trademark, irresistible charm to the damage beneath. Everyone wants the rock star. I’m falling for the man. If he doesn’t let me in, he’ll never break the cycle— And when these six months are up, I might be the one left broken.

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders... 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

După un divorț brutal, Georgia Stanton trebuie să lase în urmă aproape totul – viața din New York, prietenii, mândria. Întoarsă la casa copilăriei din Colorado, îl cunoaște din întâmplare pe Noah Harrison, un celebru autor de romane de dragoste, extrem de chipeș, dar și extrem de arogant. Iar lucrurile se complică atunci când se dovedește că Noah este cel ales să termine ultimul roman pe care străbunica Georgiei, și ea o foarte cunoscută scriitoare, nu a mai apucat să îl încheie. Noah se află la apogeul carierei, dar nu poate refuza să contribuie la ceea ce ar putea fi cea mai bună carte a secolului – cea pe care idolul său, Scarlett Stanton, a lăsat-o neîncheiată. Să aducă un final care să se ridice la standardele legendarei autoare este dificil, însă și mai dificil pare să se înțeleagă cu superba, dar încăpățânata ei strănepoată. Pe măsură ce Noah și Georgia citesc manuscrisul, dar și scrisorile legate de acesta, încep să înțeleagă motivul pentru care Scarlett nu a terminat niciodată cartea – este bazată pe povestea de dragoste pe care ea a trăit -o în timpul celui de Al Doilea Război Mondial, iar finalul nu este unul fericit. Georgia știe prea bine că dragostea aduce numai durere și lasă în urmă răni adânci; și deși atracția dintre ea și Noah este de netăgăduit, este hotărâtă să învețe din greșelile trecutului – chiar dacă asta înseamnă să distrugă cariera lui Noah și speranța unui nou început.

I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. It’s not fair. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart. She’s going to need help. So if I’m gone, that means I can’t be there for Ella. I can’t help them through this. But you can. So I’m begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family. Please don’t make her go through it alone. Ryan

Todos esperaban que Violet Sorrengail muriera en su primer año en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath, incluso ella misma. Pero la Trilla fue tan solo la primera de una serie de pruebas imposibles destinadas a deshacerse de los pusilánimes, los indignos y los desafortunados. Ahora comienza el verdadero entrenamiento y Violet no sabe cómo logrará superarlo. No solo porque es brutal y agotador ni porque está diseñado para llevar al límite el umbral del dolor de los jinetes, sino porque el nuevo vicecomandante está empeñado en demostrar a Violet lo débil que es a menos que traicione al hombre que ama. Aunque el cuerpo de Violet es más frágil que el de sus compañeros, su fuerza radica en su ingenio y voluntad de hierro. Además, los líderes están olvidando la lección más importante que Basgiath les ha enseñ los jinetes de dragones crean sus propias reglas. La voluntad de sobrevivir no será suficiente este año, porque Violet conoce el secreto que se oculta entre los muros del colegio y nada, ni siquiera el fuego de dragón, será suficiente para salvarlos. «En el primer año algunos pierden la vida. En el segundo año, los que sobrevivimos perdemos la compasión». —Xaden Riorson

Niemand had verwacht dat Violet haar eerste jaar aan het Basgiath Oorlogscollege zou overleven, ook zijzelf niet. Maar nu komt pas de echte proef. Er is een nieuwe vicecommandant, die vastbesloten lijkt om Violet het leven zuur te maken, tenzij ze de man van wie ze houdt verraadt. Ze staat voor de ultieme ze zal óf zichzelf moeten verloochenen óf het eeuwenoude geheim van het college moeten ontrafelen. Zal Violet hier levend uitkomen?

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him. Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Toți s-au așteptat ca Violet Sorrengail să moară în primul ei an la Colegiul de Război Basgiath — inclusiv ea. Dar Treieratul a fost doar primul din testele necruțătoare menite să-i înlăture pe cei nesiguri, pe cei nevrednici și pe cei ghinioniști. Adevăratul antrenament începe acum, iar Violet deja se întreabă cum va supraviețui. Pe lângă faptul că este istovitor, brutal și conceput pentru a împinge rezistența la durere a călăreților dincolo de orice limită, misiunea personală a noului comandant-adjunct este să o învețe exact cât de neputincioasă este – dacă nu-l trădează pe bărbatul pe care-l iubește. Deși trupul ei este mai slab și mai fragil decât al oricui altcuiva de la colegiu, Violet are o minte ascuțită și o voință de fier. Iar cei aflați la conducere uită cea mai importantă lecție pe care a învățat-o ea la Basgiath: călăreții de dragoni își fac propriile reguli. Dar hotărârea de a supraviețui nu va fi îndeajuns anul acesta. Pentru că Violet știe adevăratul secret ascuns de secole la Colegiul de Război Basgiath — și s-ar putea ca nici măcar focul dragonilor să nu fie îndeajuns pentru a-i salva pe toți.

"У перший рік деякі з нас втрачають життя. На другий рік ми втрачаємо свою людяність". Багато хто очікував, що Вайолет Сорренґейл загине під час свого першого року навчання у Військовому коледжі Басґіат. Однак Обмолот був лише першим надважким випробуванням, покликаним відсіяти слабких, негідних і невдах. А тепер починається справжнє навчання, тож Вайолет уже переймається, як вона впорається. Річ не тільки в тому, що другий курс має бути виснажливий і неймовірно жорстокий, до того ж, цього року вершники повинні навчитися витримувати фізичний і моральний тиск. Однак є ще новий віцекомендант, який поставив собі за особисту мету довести Вайолет, наскільки вона слабка і легкодуха, якщо тільки не зрадить чоловіка, якого кохає. І хоча тіло Вайолет не таке сильне й витривале, як у інших курсантів, вона має гострий розум і залізну волю. А керівництво забуває найважливіший урок, який засвоюєш у Басґіаті: вершники драконів встановлюють власні правила. Проте самого бажання вижити цього року буде недостатньо. Адже Вайолет знає страшну таємницю, яку століттями приховували у Наваррі.

«Παρόλο που οι ιπτάμενοι γρυπών δεν διαθέτουν χαρακτηριστικές μαγείες, δεν είναι ανίσχυροι. Είναι μεγάλο λάθος να τους υποτιμάς». ΓΡΥΠΕΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΡΟΜΙΕΛ, ΜΙΑ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗ ΜΑΧΗ ΑΠΟ ΤΟΝ ΣΥΝΤΑΓΜΑΤΑΡΧΗ ΓΚΑΡΙΟΝ ΣΑΒΟΪ «Τον πρώτο χρόνο μερικοί από εμάς χάνουμε τη ζωή μας. Τον δεύτερο χρόνο οι υπόλοιποι χάνουμε την ανθρωπιά μας». Ζέιντεν Ράιερσον Όλοι περίμεναν ότι η Βάιολετ Σόρενγκεϊλ θα πέθαινε τον πρώτο χρόνο της στη Στρατιωτική Σχολή Μπασγκάιαθ – ακόμα και η ίδια η Βάιολετ. Όμως η Επιλογή ήταν μόνο η πρώτη δύσκολη δοκιμασία, που είχε στόχο να ξεσκαρτάρει τους αδύναμους, τους ανάξιους και τους άτυχους. Τώρα ξεκινάει η πραγματική εκπαίδευση και η Βάιολετ ήδη αναρωτιέται αν θα τα καταφέρει. Όχι μόνο επειδή η εκπαίδευση είναι σκληρή και απίστευτα βάρβαρη ούτε καν επειδή είναι σχεδιασμένη να φτάνει τους ιππείς στα όρια της αντοχής τους. Αναρωτιέται εξαιτίας του νέου υπολοχαγού, ο οποίος έχει σκοπό να δείξει στη Βάιολετ ακριβώς πόσο ανίσχυρη είναι – εκτός κι αν προδώσει τον άντρα που αγαπάει. Παρόλο που το σώμα της Βάιολετ είναι πιο αδύναμο και εύθραυστο από των υπολοίπων, έχει ακόμη την εξυπνάδα της και ατσάλινη θέληση. Και οι αρχηγοί ξεχνούν το πιο σημαντικό μάθημα που της έχει μάθει το Μπασγκάιαθ: Οι ιππείς δράκων φτιάχνουν τους δικούς τους κανόνες. Όμως η αποφασιστικότητα να επιβιώσει δεν θα είναι αρκετή φέτος. Διότι η Βάιολετ γνωρίζει το μυστικό που είναι κρυμμένο εδώ και αιώνες στη Στρατιωτική Σχολή Μπασγκάιαθ – και τίποτα, ούτε καν η φωτιά των δράκων, δεν θα είναι αρκετό για να τους σώσει στο τέλος.
