Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone--even the lowborn--a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders.
Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet.
But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city.
With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose to kill the only family he has left or to betray everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs.

I almost never reread books but today I reread this one so I can binge the whole series when the final book comes out in a few days. Been awhile since I read this (almost exactly 3 years) so it was as engaging a read the second time. I love the character work done here because the Lee/Annie relationship is fascinating and what really drives the book for me. The writing has a maturity rarely seen in YA, and it's criminal this never got more popular.
Now to see if the rest of the series holds up!
I so loved this book. I love the plot the world building and the characters. I teared up a few times in this book. I think it is an excellent political fantasy.
This book is amazing! I loved it so much.
Nine years ago there was a bloody revolution that left many orphans behind. Two of them grew up together in an orphanage and mourned all they had lost.
Before the revolution, only Dragon Lords (highborn) could be dragon riders. In this new world, any class can test to become a dragon rider. Lee and Annie will never forget the day they lost their families, but becoming dragon riders would allow them to help protect this new world they believe in.
I loved the characters, the dragons, the politics, and everything else about this book. I am very sad that I will have to wait until March for the next one.
If you're like me and love fantasy and aren't a romance fan, this is for you.
