FIVE LANDS TRILOGY: BOOK ONE
For many years the Five Lands--Outlands, Badlands, Woodlands, Highlands, and Deadlands--have been protected by the Rangers. The brave and bold Outland Rangers, the strong and determined Badland Rangers, the quick and agile Woodland Rangers, the cool and smart Highland Rangers, and the powerful Deadland Rangers, are the greatest warriors in the world, respected and honored. However, one day, Infernas, the Molten Emperor, destroys the Deadlands, leaving not a single trace! Lionel, a brand-new Outland Ranger, stumbles upon this fact when on a mission, and resolves to find out Infernas' plan!
However, will he live to see the answer that he searches for?
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. And Rose Sorrengail has spent her entire life making sure she will be neither.
Born strong where her twin sister Violet was fragile, Rose is a force forged in fire-bold, brutal, and unrelenting. While Violet stumbles unwillingly into the Riders Quadrant, Rose charges forward, determined to carve out her own legend within Basgiath War College.
But surviving Conscription Day is just the beginning. In a world where strength is currency and dragons don't bond with the weak, Rose quickly becomes known-for her precision, her ruthlessness... and the trail of blood left in her wake. Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away.
With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers.
In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive.
And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.
