“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 USA Today 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.

"I was instantly captivated by this story! I have not had the time to read as of late. I used my local library connection with audio books and by chance happened upon the first two books in this hopefully ongoing saga. I downloaded the audio versions and must say lost a lot of sleep as I could not stop listening!!! The chapters ended with you wanting to know the next moment. Bravo Rebecca Yarros! Whether reading or listening I am excited to experience further works you have labored for us all to enjoy. "

" The story is great despite the appearance of it having been written by a teenager on heat. Less focus on the rippling muscles and cut of his jaw line and more story, would have made it a must read for those seeking an escape. A good yarn all the same. "
