Into the book
The fucking day has finally come.
Conscription day.
That's why the sunrise was so beautiful this morning.
Because it might be the last sunrise I see.
I tightened the straps of my heavy canvas backpack and trudged up the wide steps of the stone fortress I had called home.
By the time I reached the hallway leading to General Sorngale's office, my chest was heaving with exhaustion, and my lungs felt like they were on fire.
This was the result of six months of intense physical training.
The ability to barely climb six flights of stairs while carrying a 15-kilogram backpack.
It's completely fucked up.
--- p.9
Calm down.
You have to live calmly.
I'm tone-deaf, so I can't hum decently, and I can't sing to distract myself.
But I am a scholar.
There is no place as calming as the archives.
So I thought of that place.
actually.
logic.
history.
“Your heart already knows the answer, so just recall the memory,” my father always said.
I had to use the logical side of my brain to keep from turning around and going back to the watchtower.
“There are two kingdoms on the continent, and we’ve been at war for 400 years.” I recited the basic information I’d been hammering into my head while preparing for the clerk exam, and it was easy to recall.
Then, step by step, I moved along the railing.
“Our homeland, Navarre, is a larger kingdom divided into six distinct regions.
Tyrander, the southernmost and largest province, borders the Crobla region of the Kingdom of Poromiel.” With each word, his breathing slowed, his heart rate stabilized, and his dizziness subsided.
--- p.40
When I came face to face with the dragon, my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.
Actually, I felt the same way.
I wanted to run away.
No matter how I thought about it, it was absurd to have to climb on the back of such a great being.
Suddenly, a cadet from the 3rd Squadron jumped out and ran screaming towards the citadel behind us.
Everyone turned to see the cadet running towards the huge archway in the center.
Even from this distance, I could see the inscription on the arch, but I already knew it by heart without even trying to read it.
A dragon without a rider is a tragedy.
A rider without a dragon is a corpse.' Once a rider has made a contract, he cannot live without a dragon, but most dragons live well even after the rider's death.
That's why they chose carefully.
So as not to be embarrassed by choosing a coward.
There's no way a dragon would admit it made a mistake.
The red dragon on the left opened its huge mouth, revealing teeth as big as me.
It was a jaw that could crush me like a grape if it wanted to.
The flames that followed the tongue became a chilling blade and shot out towards the fleeing cadet.
The cadet was reduced to a pile of ash on the gravel before he even reached the shadow of the citadel.
68 dead.
I turned my gaze forward, the side of my face burning with heat.
If someone else runs away and gets executed… I don’t want to see that.
Then another scream rang out.
I clenched my jaw to quietly defend my position.
The fever was felt twice more.
Once to the left, once to the right.
There are now 70 people.
--- p.68
“If you stop wallowing in self-pity and think about it, you’ll realize you have everything you need to climb the Gauntlet,” a voice shouted from behind, echoing through the hallway.
“Honey… what’s wrong?” I turned around with my mouth wide open.
“People are dying,” he said slowly, taking a deep breath and moving his jaw.
“This kind of thing will keep happening.
That's the essence of this place.
What makes you a rider is what you do after people die.
You want to know why you're still alive? Because you're the yardstick by which I measure myself every night.
Every day I let you live makes me believe that there's still a part of me that's good.
So if you want to quit, please, stop tempting me and just quit now.
But if you want to do something, just do it.”
“I’m too short to fill that gap!” I said quietly, not caring if anyone was listening.
“The right way is not the only way.
“Find out.” He turned and walked away.
Damn it.
child.

Publisher's Review
“Your brain is your best weapon.
Beat your opponent with cunning, Violet.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
“I won’t die today.
“Not yet.”
A deadly and captivating world that heralded the beginning of a new, massive fandom.
The Vaszias Military Academy, where only those chosen by the great dragon survive.
After 400 years of war, the Kingdom of Navarre conscripts all men and women at the age of twenty.
Those who enter Basgias can only die or graduate by flying to the dragon's choice.
Those chosen in this way are called 'Dragon Riders' and are sent into war with unique abilities gained through the dragon's magic.
And here is Violet Sorngale, with her long 'silver hair', who fell here by accident.
For her, who has never trained in combat, this place is like a graveyard.
Cruel cadets who eliminate their rivals to be chosen by the dragon, and those who have been marked with rebellion.
The intrigue and betrayal surrounding Violet, and the forbidden romance that blossoms powerfully within it…
Will Violet fly safely and graduate?
Force Wing depicts the fierce struggle for survival of Violet Thorngale, who was trained to follow in her father's footsteps and become a secretary at the Vaszias Archives, but must become a 'Dragon Rider' under the orders of her mother, the commander.
But to be chosen by the dragon, you must cross a dizzying 60-meter-high ledge amidst raging storms, fight in weekly fights to the death, and overcome the possibility of being killed by the breath of a great but ill-tempered dragon just for fun.
Among the cadets who possessed tremendous strength and fighting prowess, as well as ruthless arrogance, the small and weak Violet ended up as prey, and the weapon she chose was none other than his head.
The extraordinary memory that allows him to memorize all the military school rules creates a realistic and thrilling cinematic narrative with all the strategies and tricks that he displays.
This amazing world, with its fun and conflicts created by the enterprising Violet and the various characters surrounding her in a brutal competitive game, and its spectacular battles with hundreds of charming dragons, has been meticulously translated by Lee Su-hyeon, Korea's top fantasy translator who has worked on "Game of Thrones" and "Divergent," and will provide readers who have eagerly awaited a new fantasy masterpiece with complete immersion and satisfaction that will keep them hooked until the last page.
“I’m… not as strong as other riders.”
“Silver Child, the power of courage is more important than physical strength.”
The one rider chosen by the dragon, and the great story they wrote.
Author Rebecca Yaros, who has been described as “a gifted and captivating storyteller” and “a master of romanticism (a hybrid of romance and fantasy),” disarms readers with her characteristically refreshing and smooth writing style.
This solid coming-of-age story, built with dramatic developments, meticulous foreshadowing, and delicate descriptions, goes beyond the magical experience of vividly portraying every scene before your eyes. It is enough to captivate you with every emotion: from the failures, despair, loss, and sorrow Violet experiences in the midst of a fierce life, to the thrilling desire to conquer, as she never gives up and exploits her opponents' vulnerabilities to subdue them.
The author and four of his six children actually suffer from a condition that, like Violet, causes their bones and joints to break easily.
Recently, the symptoms have worsened to the point where he finds it difficult to stand for long periods of time, but he continues to write this series with his rich imagination and challenging spirit, proving that true 'strength' is not just about physical strength.
This book conveys the value of life that 'courage' is more important than 'giving up' one's beliefs to protect small things, and the messages of support and sympathy from readers who responded became the beginning of the explosive 'Silver Fandom'.
“Since I read this book, not a single day has passed that I haven’t thought about it.”, “The characters, world view, story, romance, action, and even the dragons are all perfect.”, “My lost romantic cells have returned thanks to the incredibly sexy Jaden.”, and other such confessions are still heating up the online community in real time.
Come experience the charm of Force Wing, which has captured the hearts of people all over the world.
Whether you like fantasy romance novels or not, this one will be the one you've been waiting for.
“Writing Violet’s story is a very cathartic act.
“She struggles to overcome the fate that has been given to her that is different from others, because in fact, my four children and I are going through the same difficulties.” _From an interview with the New York Times
