Un drag�n sin su jinete es una tragedia. Un jinete sin su drag�n est� muerto. --Art�culo uno, secci�n uno del C�digo de jinetes de dragones

Violet Sorrengail cre�a que a sus veinte a�os se unir�a 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 �rdenes de su madre, la temida comandante general, Violet debe unirse a los miles de candidatos que luchan por formar parte de la �lite de Navarre: los jinetes de dragones.

Cuando eres m�s peque�a y fr�gil que los dem�s tu vida corre peligro, porque los dragones no se vinculan con humanos d�biles; de hecho, los incineran. Sumado a esto, con m�s jinetes que dragones disponibles, buena parte de los candidatos matar�a a Violet con tal de mejorar sus probabilidades de �xito; otros, como el despiadado Xaden Riorson, el l�der de ala m�s poderoso del Cuadrante, la asesinar�an simplemente por ser la hija de la comandante general. Para sobrevivir, necesitar� aprovechar al m�ximo todo su ingenio.

D�a tras d�a, la guerra que se libra al exterior del Colegio se torna m�s letal, las defensas del reino se debilitan y los muertos aumentan. Por si fuera poco, Violet sospecha que los l�deres de Navarre esconden un terrible secreto.

Amistad, rivalidad y pasi�n... en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath todos tienen una agenda oculta y saben que una vez adentro solo hay dos posibilidades: graduarse o morir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Once you enter Basgiath War College, there are only two ways out: graduate or die. Twenty-year-old Violet was supposed to live a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general of her kingdom―also known as her mother--has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. Basgiath War College is tough. And 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. Not to mention most cadets would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. Outside of the school, the war against the kingdom grows more deadly, the protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. To find out what is really happening, she'll need every edge her wits can give her."
