Fourth Wing (The Empyrean Book 1) by Rebecca Yarros

Welcome to Basgiath War College, where the stakes are life or death—and falling is always an option.

Fourth Wing is the pulse-pounding fantasy romance that took the world by storm and became an instant #1 New York Times Bestseller. Rebecca Yarros delivers a story so addictive, so impossible to put down, that readers have been staying up until dawn to finish it.

Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. But when her mother—the commanding general—orders her into the Riders Quadrant instead, Violet must survive the brutal training required to bond with a dragon. The problem? She’s smaller than most recruits, her body is fragile, and everyone expects her to die during her first year.

But Violet has secrets. And she’s more cunning than anyone realizes.

Between cutthroat classmates, deadly creatures, and a certain brooding wingleader named Xaden Riorson who seems determined to unsettle her at every turn, Violet will need every ounce of wit and courage to make it through. Because at Basgiath, dragons bond with riders—or kill them. And the weakest don’t survive.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, this is a story of fierce heroines, smoldering tension, and dragons that will steal your heart. Once you enter the world of the Empyrean, you won’t want to leave.
