Summary
Violet Sorrengail has been lying. To her mother. To her squad. To the wingleader who watches her like he's waiting for something.
Mostly, these days, to herself.
There's a routine her body seems to know and run through every morning before anyone's awake to see it and a version of herself she's been performing for so long, she forgets to let the facade down at the end of the day.Three years in, she thought she had it down. The right face for the right room. The right amount of nothing in her voice when his name comes up. A performance good enough that even she sometimes forgets where it ends and she begins.
Then the reviews start coming in.
A dragon who already seems to know her. A best friend far too observant for anyone's good. A war that has a way of finding the things you've buried and bringing them up at the worst possible time.
it feels like a Performance Review.
Some lies keep people safe. Some just keep score. And some audiences have been watching a lot more closely than anyone realised.
