Summary
“I am so screwed,” I mutter to myself.
“If you were screwed, you wouldn’t be having this problem.”
“You’re still here?”
“Obviously.”
I ignore her sarcasm. “If you and Tairn had bothered to shield, I wouldn’t be having this problem.”
Sgaeyl scoffs. “You did not just blame me. I know hatchlings with better self-control. You’re more than capable of blocking m—”
I don’t even let her finish before my shields are up.
Did I just prove her point?
Maybe.
Do I care?
Not. One. Bit.
I snort and mentally roll my eyes because even without the connection I know my girl just called me rude.
Well, you started it.
I love her.
Even if she is a pain in my—
A sudden surge of desire rolls through me, and I’m nearly brought to my knees before shadows whip out, bracing and stopping my descent.
“Are you fucking kidding me? Again?!” Now she’s just doing this to fuck with me.
History will remember my name, not because I am the son of the Great Betrayer or the leader of a revolution, but because I am going to kill. My. Dragon.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is thrust into the Riders Quadrant, but Tyrrendor never seceded. Years earlier, Duke Fen Riorson realized General Melgren’s prophetic signet ensured any open rebellion would fail. Instead of declaring secession and leading his allies to slaughter, Fen remained Duke of Tyrrendor and quietly built a hidden resistance under Navarre’s nose. Brennan Sorrengail defected under cover of his posting in Tyrrendor and became one of Fen’s lieutenants, while Xaden Riorson rose to Wingleader at Basgiath as part of the covert network.
Because Fen chose secrecy over secession, the rebellion was never crushed, and there are no “marked” children branded as traitors. Outwardly, Tyrrendor appears loyal to Navarre, but beneath the surface a clandestine movement is smuggling weapons, embedding loyal heirs in the Riders Quadrant, and preparing for the day Navarre’s lies collapse. Navarre's leaders are suspicious of Tyrrendor and are engaged in a covert battle for intelligence on the province’s leaders. When Violet bonds both Tairn and Andarna and discovers her father’s warning about the venin, she stumbles into this web of secrets and intrigue.
Navarre’s enemies are alive, organized, and hiding in plain sight.

Xaden
“What?” I blink.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
“I’m just making sure I heard correctly. You’re willing to let us live? All of the apostasy’s children under the age of majority?”
“In exchange for a favor to be named at a later date by my discretion.”
“That’s what I thought you said.”
“Then stop wasting time and agree. It’s the only way you’re getting out of here alive.”
“Just want to fully understand the terms. Surely you can appreciate a measure of caution.”
“Hmm.” The general blinks.
The possibilities of what she could want race through my head. Tread carefully. My eyes narrow. “I won’t assassinate anyone for you… unless it’s King Tauri. Then I’ll gladly do it.”
“You’re not in a position to negotiate. Either you accept and live, or you all die with your parents. Choose. Now.”
Impatient and used to getting her way. Yep, she’s definitely a dragon rider

“Now, I own you.”
I bolt upright in bed, gasping for breath.
