Initially described as "Harry Potter with dragons," the series, while starting with that feel, quickly evolves into a more Twilight-esque magical fantasy romance with explicit content.
The narrative centers on Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman compelled by her powerful mother to attend a perilous dragon rider academy. Violet's journey involves overcoming personal weaknesses, navigating complex relationships with her mother, a former friend, and a seemingly hostile young man, all while uncovering larger secrets within her world and amidst a passionate romance.
