When the most fearsome dragon in Basgiath War College chooses a fragile rider everyone expects to die, their bond becomes the only thing standing between the kingdom and an ancient enemy's return.

When Xaden Riorson's deadly rebellion mark makes him the most dangerous rider at Basgiath War College, he must choose between protecting the girl who could destroy everything he's built or watching his carefully laid plans crumble alongside the fragile peace of Navarre.
