🔥 What Is Iron Flame About?

After surviving the brutal first year at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail enters her second year—where the true horrors begin. Threshing was just the beginning. The training is more intense, the politics more deadly, and her enemies more determined than ever to see her fail.

Violet faces new challenges, including a ruthless vice commandant who’s determined to crush her spirit by any means necessary—even forcing her to choose between her heart and her survival. But with her bonded dragons, her cunning mind, and her deepening connection to Xaden Riorson, Violet refuses to be a pawn in anyone’s game.

And beneath all the battles and betrayals lies a devastating secret—one that could unravel the very foundation of their world.
