"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 #1 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.

    This was my first fantasy and it was everything I wanted and more. I was immediately interested and the pacing of this book is perfect. I also loved having multiple plot twists, it kept me on edge and wanting to read more!

    The writing isn’t spectacular, and the story isn’t particularly clever. The characters aren’t unique either. But as a whole, this is a good book to sit down and read in one sitting. It’s just entertaining enough that it can keep your mind busy and the relationship between the main character and the love interest has enough chemistry to keep you flipping to the next page. It’s worth exactly what it’s priced, $15 and no more. Enjoy reading!

  • Why all of the low resolution blurry images?

    I literally can’t even read the names of places on the map. All of the images are extremely low resolution and pixelated when you zoom in to try and read them. I’ve tried it on several different devices. Can we possibly get an update?

    This is such an amazing book, I just couldn’t put it down! Normally I spend my free time playing video games but this book had me putting down the mouse and keyboard to read the hours away. I’ll definitely be reading the rest of this series and the author’s other books!

    And didn’t disappoint! It keeps you in its clutches and leaves you not wanting to put it down. I’m leaving this review after reading the next one in the series and have pre-ordered the third book. Read it. I PROMISE you, you’ll devour it. Perfect amount of heroine, spice and everything nice.

    I could not put this book down! I don’t typically lean towards these books but my sister was begging me to read it and I was hooked in no time! I read this book in 3 days because I could not get enough! So excited to start the second one!
