"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.

    I highly recommend reading this series, I couldn’t put it down. I hate when a book makes the female needy and everything falling back on the man to fix everything. This book does nothing of the sort. Violet’s character forms into a strong women who I came to admire. I won’t go into details so I don’t give any spoilers but seriously read the book for yourself

  • Absolutely Amazing

    I am not a big reader. In order for me to read a book it has to catch my attention immediately for me to even continue it. This book did exactly that! I never thought I would even be into a genre like this. I couldn’t stop reading! This book is a must read!

  • Loved!!!

    It took me a while to get into it…I started it, put it down, then picked it back up months later. And once I picked it back up, I could not put it down!

    The last time I read a book for fun was ages ago. One fine day I came across this book and decided to give it a go. A few chapters in and I was hooked. I couldn’t put it down! Violet is smart, crafty and doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Xaden is ruthless, loyal and ready to fight for what he believes in no matter the cost. The dragons and their personalities intrigued me as well. I had to order Iron Flame immediately. This book series got me back into reading.

    I wasn’t sure about this book at first, since I normally don’t read things involving too much romance. However, once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Read it in about a day and a half, and just before writing this, I purchased the second book. Amazing work. Well done.
