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.

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.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College – Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is – unless she betrays the man she loves.

The relentless pursuit of success is a defining characteristic of high-achievers. But this drive, if unchecked, can lead to a debilitating cycle of chronic stress. This book offers a paradigm shift, reframing stress not as an enemy to be vanquished, but as a powerful force that, when understood and managed effectively, can fuel exceptional performance and well-being.

In this book, we will explore the science of focus, delving into the neuroscience of attention, the impact of modern distractions, and the practical strategies for cultivating laser-like concentration.

The pursuit of success is a universal human aspiration. We strive for achievement in our careers, relationships, and personal growth. Yet, the traditional pathways to success often prioritize external measures—wealth, status, accolades—at the expense of inner well-being. This book presents a transformative alternative: a path to success that harmonizes external accomplishment with internal peace and fulfillment.
