After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

I loved all the visits to the different isles, the battles, and the spice…but I did feel like I was missing info on quite a few characters/dragons named. I would have liked for them to be fleshed out a little more.
Thank the gods for that 1% of Teddy Hamilton.

I am still catching my breath. Rebecca Yarros how dare you break us so beautifully and royally. The smallest book of the series and yet had the biggest impact. I am not going to spoil anything in this review but I will say be prepared. Violet and the gang do so much and you are rooting for them the entire way. Andarna gives us all the sass we have come to know and love and Tairn is just as loveable as he is grumpy. The love story is still the underlying romance of the book, but the action is chef’s kiss. There are so many changes, revelations, and heart-wrenching moments that I could barely put the book down. I only did so because I had to adult. This is a 10 star read and I need to breathe before I reread because we all know the story is littered with clues and hints of what is to come. Yes I said 10 stars, you can go argue with the wall not with me. Damnit Rebecca…. Enjoy your much deserved break. But we are waiting… with the patience of Andarna.

I *think* it’s a 4, but I may need to reread it to fully process/understand. I did the audio and listened on a day everyone was home, so quite a few interruptions. I definitely enjoyed though!
