Violet must decide whether she wants to return to the deadly Basgiath War College and to what extent she can trust Xaden. Everyone expected that Violet Sorrengail would die during her first year at Basgiath War College – including Violet herself. But she has survived.

The real training is just beginning, and Violet wonders how she will endure it. The challenges are grueling, extremely brutal, and designed to push the riders' pain thresholds to the limit. But the biggest problem is the new vice-commander, who wants to break Violet – unless she betrays the man she loves.

Even though Violet's body is weaker and more fragile, she still has her mind and her iron will. And the most important lesson she has learned so far seems to be forgotten by everyone else: Dragon riders make their own rules.
