“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” —Xaden Riorson
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

5By lilasparagus6607so sad but so good slightly longer than it needed to be thoSo good!
4By SmutWifesHusbandI lowkey, enjoyed this book more than the first of the series. Rebecca Yarros didnt sell us short on an intriguing and strong story line of constant adaptation. Felt like was on a bullet train/rollercoaster love child in early morning fog so you cant see at all. Thoroughly enjoyed and am definitely one of the few that believe the second installment of the fourth wing series is better than the first.Oh yeah
5By loganessmomaIt's great. It keeps moving. The relationships between Violet and her dragons is amazing. Such a great easy read.Tedious Romance and Ridiculously Complicated Plot
2By FastprofYarros seems to be making it up as we go along. Throwing new characters, illogical turns to the plot and, finally, leaving the story so confused and tortured that I found myself reading only a few pages before becoming angry and frustrated.might be my favorite in the series so far
5By the monsterrrrrI love the first book, but this one might’ve topped it for me. We still had that exciting tension between Xaden and Violet, even though they already were together. The new things we discover keep me hooked. Of course, the end of the book had a abrupt and crazy cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more. The constant thrill of not gonna happen and the characters being in enemy territory, definitely kept me reading this. I never got bored and I could not put this down and I turned a lot of late school work because of this book. also bringing Xadens ex and was just the cherry on top. It’s so amazing. Take my word for it. You’re gonna love it.This book will wreck you in the best way.
4By The Haus of Hamilton Book ClubI have such mixed feelings about Iron Flame — on one hand I was so emotionally wrecked by some of the plot-lines, on the other, I was so frustrated by the introduction of the rest. And I may have wanted to murder a few characters… All I know is that the throne room changed me, and the ending broke me. If Rebecca continues to write cliff-hangers like this, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it through this series. Consider yourself warnedGreat read
5By GF TexasIt keeps you turning pages!So hooked…
5By AndiePR19Another page turner I didn’t want to see end. Fantastic! Can’t wait for book 3! Yes, please!
