"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.

1By g_jsUnoriginal and boringBreathless
5By klinkzillaThe whole story is riveting. The final chapters of this story are non-stop action, making it impossible to put down.Great beginning, middle, and the end left me needing more
5By Brooke2336Loved this book. Just as you meet the characters and they start emerging, they grow and evolve as the storyline comes together. Absolutely love the tension from the main characters and the sexual tension is explosive pretty much throughout the book. Made me buy the next book right away!i liked it
4By nicoldesireeslow burn in the beginning but very worth it as the story progresses!MUST READ
5By Chels212044Absolutely love it. Loved it even more the second time.Captivating!
5By Preslei ,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!Good junk food
3By lar1237The 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?
5By Brian D.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?Omg love the book
5By brycelusterCan’t wait to read the second book and others books in the futureGreat book
