Dragonsinger follows the journey of Menolly as she realizes her dream of becoming a Harper in the world of Pern. Despite the obstacles posed by her gender, Menolly faces hostility from male peers and masters. With the support of new friends, teachers, and her nine tiny, colorful dragons, she discovers that her musical talents may be stronger than anyone could imagine.
This tale is set within the beloved and bestselling Dragonriders of Pern series by science fiction legend Anne McCaffrey. It vividly captures the power of music and the strength found in perseverance and friendship.
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.
