"Fourth Wing will have your heart pounding from beginning to end... A fantasy like you've never read before." ―#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

    I don’t blame young “riders” for having sex on the brain, but leave a little to our imagination!

    This story was so good. The author kept me hanging onto every word! I will say the romance portions do get a little cheesy here and there but I do try to remind myself they are just in their twenties and angsty 😂
  • Will continue series

    No book has ever caught me within the first chapter like this book has. This book quite literally has me in a CHOKEHOLD. If you need a push, this is your aggressive push. READ. THIS. BOOK.

  • Stolen culture

    This author stole from the Irish and Scottish people and their culture language of Gaelic, if you do purchase this book please take the time to search the Gaelic words and their meanings to bring awareness back to this amazing language that was nearly destroyed by the British empire.
