About the book

At Basgiath War College, Threshing is the trial where cadets must earn a dragon's bond or die trying. This collection returns to that day through thirteen riders, each facing rivals, dragon fire and a choice that shapes them. Among the voices are Xaden Riorson, Rhiannon Matthias, Dain Aetos, Liam Mairi, Ridoc Gamlyn, Imogen Cardulo, Mira and Brennan Sorrengail and Sloane Mairi.

It is written for readers who already know the Empyrean books and want to see familiar characters at the moment they were chosen.
