About this listen
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.
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.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

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.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Epic!!
The voice actors were incredible! I’d read the story prior to listening and knew I wanted to listen to the dramatized adaptation after doing the same process with the ACOTAR series.
I’m so glad I did and I can’t wait for part 2!!!!!

Xadens voice was *chef’s kiss*
This was a cinematic adventure! Definitely worth the 2 credits (part 1 and 2). Whoever voices Xaden should definitely voice Rhys!! Cannot wait for the Iron Flame and Onyx Storm adaptations, just take my money

Binge-able! Only 1 tiny complaint
TLDR: love it!! My complaints are: corny amount of multiple orgasms, too obvious with foreshadowing at times, voice actor for male lead doesn’t match the style of other characters and doesn’t suit the character he is playing.
I enjoyed almost everything about this story and the performance. The characters are all interesting and feel well developed. The story was captivating and even during the world/character building periods did not feel dry or difficult to get through. Lots of action and excitement but it was balanced with interpersonal details so there still is depth. It’s pretty smutty but still romantic. The amount of smut doesn’t feel unrealistic or forced for the sake of smut. The amount/intensity of smut scenes suits the characters and fits into everything else that’s happening. The smut isn’t too corny, except for the extreme amount of multiple orgasms. A few is fine but there seem to be a few too many orgasms during one session… I already get it that the sex is good. Good sex only needs one or two orgasms though… maybe not even one. I’d even forgive 3. More than that becomes a bit ridiculous. Some people really do experience that but it is rare and the way it is portrayed in this story seems over-dramatic.
I also have 2 more small complaints. One has to do with the storytelling, and the other is with the performance.
The book is for young adults, so it is forgivable. I just feel personally annoyed when certain parts of the plot are over-explained. I won’t spoil anything but they really drive certain plot points home after it should have been plenty obvious. I get if they don’t expect you to notice (even very obvious) foreshadowing and they present the reveal dramatically. However when they’ve already told us and they keep telling us just to make sure I feel like my intelligence has been slightly insulted. Not really haha but I’m like okay, okay, get on with it.
My issue with the performance is only with the actor who is playing Xaden. Maybe this is just my personal taste, but I don’t think the actor suits the character Xaden. He sounds too old and his style doesn’t seem to match the style used by actors playing the rest of the characters. Everyone else seems to have a down to earth, casual style. Then you hear the over-dramatic voice of Xaden come in and I feel a sense of incongruence. He sounds a bit awkward. His voice is too formal, deep, and aggressive. The way he speaks doesn’t sound realistic to how a person in their early 20s would talk and doesn’t seem to suit how I imagine Xaden. It is especially weird during romantic scenes when he almost sounds like he is growling all the time. Again, maybe this is just my opinion but there you go.

Amazing!
I read the book and wanted a reread before Onyx Storm when I was told this audio version was worth the listen. It really is! It made me fall in love even more with the characters. I usually listen to my audio books on 1.5 speed because I have the attention span of a fish but this has so many things going on that I was completly immersed.

Tairn’s voice is all wrong.
I enjoyed this performance and story, but Tairn’s voice was just wrong. It seems like they were going for more of a wise advisor sound than no nonsense grumpy curmudgeon.
