"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.

    Hunger games mashed/copied from pern.. Ok world building and character growth. Fight scenes and battle scenes could use some work but overall, really good story. People compare it to ACOTAR but I like it so much more than ACOTAR. The FMC is an interesting character and grows to be a formidable MC.

    I really liked every aspect of this book. At first the main character was a little hard to like but she eventually grew on me. I really recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, war, and/or dragons! There is very little spice in this book(3ish scenes), so this is perfect if you’re not into that. I really did enjoy this book, it’s not perfect, but it’s an easy book to enjoy.

    This book is AMAZING from the first chapter. I love how there is world building throughout, slowing pushing the plot. I love the magic system in this world and I absolutely LOVE the dragons!

  • Couldn’t get enough!
