"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.

5By StunningRoom776The main characters amazing, she’s incredible, I have read this 4 times and it’s one of my favorites. The dragons are honestly amazing, and the bind she has with hers is the best.This book had me by the talons
5By Twerp.vuI was hooked from the beginning! Can’t wait to start the next bookWow
5By bri chirinoThis book is amazing! It keeps you on your toes and gives you an adrenaline rush like no other. I had been dying to get back into reading and I’m so happy I picked up this book to do it.so good i’m so hyped for the next two
5By the monsterrrrrthis is hands-down one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life. It is beautifully written, the humor is hilarious, I love the diversity between all characters, I love the tension between Xaden and Violet, the plot twist I definitely didn’t see coming, and the end of the book left my jaw on the floor. I can’t recommend this book enough and so excited for the rest of the series.I get it
5By loganessmomaRead this gem in three days. Needless to say I get the hype. It's great and fast paced.Great Storyline ✨✨✨
3By Bianca_adlin <--- followIts such a fascinating storyline. Everything it’s so well thought out, and it brought me back to reading fantasy! Though, I know is only the first book…but I couldn’t really connect with the characters. Something was missing, hopefully by book two it gets better. The friendship seemed rushed. I was confused at first, mc seemed so smart and composed…and given the atmosphere of the story, I believe she was going to be like that. But as the story progresses, she becomes very emotional and immature. It became really hard to like her…BUT Xaden, the rebels and the dragons really ground the story and elevate it. I’m excited for their journey, hopefully I can say the same for the mc soon.Fourth Wing
5By Vbrett2843Loved the book! Can’t wait to read the second book in the series.Great Read
5By KehealaniI’m a dude reading this - never read books; mainly just text books or financial literacy. This is the first story book I’ve ever read. Phenomenal read. Great character building, development, and plot. Look forward to reading more series.Great book
5By Milwil3866This was a great book. I read it twice. Storytelling was great but still sexy and action-packed.Young Readers
2By L.L. BayreutherThis is not for women but more for a younger adult reader (late teens to early 20s I’d say). I hate to give it 2 stars bc it’s not apples to apples. But if you’re 35, 40+, I’d choose something more mature. It’s a little young. But I know younger girls who enjoy the series. I couldn’t finish the first book bc it too un relatable as a 38 year old.Fourth Wing
5By Kkitty💕👑✌🏽️This was my first time reading a fantasy romance novel and it exceeded my expectations by miles. The details make you live in the pages and it feels real. 10/10 would definitely recommend.Wow just wow
4By jax1984ozI have been reading so long that I became jaded to the books that I was reading. More or less a lot of romance and mafia and MC life. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the time that I started reading after the first chapter. You see, I had to get my bearings first and understand the storyline.Stunning!
5By Mkoeb12Like Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and Twilight all combined. Brilliant!Yo!?
