"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.

Audiobook listen. I have not felt things like this since ACOTAR! Honestly, a near perfect read. I really relate to Violet, being chronically ill myself. I love that she is able to overcome hard things (from the very beginning!) and that her intelligence/book-smarts is seen as a strength, especially in Romantacy, where it’s not always valued.

So so so good, pulled me out of a huge reading slump. Also Xaden is perfection.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I have so many emotions and so many words. I have no idea where to even begin. I love some characters fiercely and hate some characters with my entire being. The ones who should be loved are rightfully loved and the ones who should be hated RIGHTFULLY hated. I was gobsmacked, full on clutching my metaphorical pearls at some points. Without giving too much away ‘We are Riders’ and oh how I long to bond with a dragon and soar through the sky and attend Basgiath! Moving on to the Spiceeee
