"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.

    Honestly, I don’t even know what made me hesitate, but I’m glad I didn’t listen to it! This book was such an amazing ride. Violet is a small powerhouse who beats all the odds against her! The storytelling and characters will blow you away and make you feel so connected. It’ll also have you hanging on till your last breath. I’m so happy I read it, and I’m telling you that you should too!

    This book was exhilarating to escape into! I loved the dragons, enemies-to-lovers, side characters, and the two main characters. The world felt real and well built. Violet and Xander felt relatable, fully developed, flawed and perfect for the plot. I stayed up all night reading this, and have decided to immediately reread it again tonight while I wait for book two.
  • No words. A must read. Phenomenal.

    This is a romance disguised as a sci-fi fiction novel.
