Nu har generalen, der også er Violets mor, beordret Violet til at slutte sig til de hundrede kandidater, der stræber efter Navarres øverste tinder: livet som dragerytter. Violet er modig men svag, da hun er født med en særlig skrøbelighed som kun få kender til – og drager knytter sig ikke til de sarte, de reducerer dem til aske.

Samtidig finder de andre kadetter hurtigt ud af, at Violet har familiemæssige forbindelser i Navarres elite, og selvom hun selv ved at det ikke vil komme hende til gode, er jagten gået ind, for der er færre drager end kadetter, og inden året er omme, vil hver anden have forladt akademiet i en kiste. Xaden Riorson, den mest magtfulde og ubarmhjertige kommandør i Rytterkvadranten, er søn af en oprørsleder, som Violets mor har slået hårdt ned på.

Bog 3Oktober – December 1984"Noget sparkede i det yderste af hans bevidsthed. Og når noget sparkede i det yderste af hans bevidsthed, var han nødt til at finde ud af, hvad det var."I allerførste kapitel af denne tredje og afsluttende bog i Haruki Murakamis romanværk '1Q84' møder vi den umanerligt grimme og meget insisterende privatdetektiv Hr. Ushikawa. Hans næse har aldrig fejlet noget, og når først han er på sporet, finder han altid frem til sit bytte. Men da han er en slange, må han gøre det i sit eget tempo.De to andre hovedpersoner i dette store værk, Tengo, en ensom mand med forfatterdrømme, og Aomame, en ung kvinde på en livsfarlig mission, befinder sig meget langt fra hinanden. De er begge to truet af kræfter, de ikke forstår omfanget af, og de er begge to forfulgt af mennesker, de ikke kender. Mens de leder efter hinanden fra hver sit sted, lærer de mere og mere om den forskudte verden, de er forsvundet ind i, men vil de lære nok til at overliste deres forfølgere? Og vil de finde hinanden, før det er for sent.'1Q84' udspiller sig i løbet af skæbneåret 1984.Og hvis vi troede, at menneskeheden var kommet helskindet gennem dette skelsættende Orwell-år, så må vi tro om igen.
