"Suspenseful, sexy, and with incredibly entertaining storytelling, the first in Yarros' Empyrean series will delight fans of romantic, adventure-filled fantasy." --Booklist, starred review "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.Reading Order:

But once I was back in the room, the book was back in my hand. I was able to relate a bit to the different groups and how they slowly put differences aside to become friends. Liams death gutted me. It gutted me when. I first read it, and gutted me again when I listened to ...read more
This lived up to the hype 100%!!! From the very first page, I was hooked. I love Violet, Xaden, Rhiannon, Liam, Ridoc, all of the characters as much as I love the characters in TOG. It’s nothing like Sarah J Maas’s books but if you love TOG and ACOTAR, I can almost guarantee you’ll love this book! However, it’s in a league of its own! Absolutely loved it. Dragons, magic, romance, slow burn, little bit of spice, suspense, battles, and surprises! I...read more
I'm a big fantasy nerd - It's fun to think maybe, just maybe, dragons once roamed the earth, trolls really did turn into stone at day break, and there's a school tucked somewhere in Scotland where Wizards and Witches master repelling the dark arts. I've read The LOTR, The Hobbit, The Harry Potter Series, the Inheritence Series and beyond, each time loving my chance to dive into a world that isn't quite like our own yet in ways, mirrors our own.
