Fourth Wing - The Empyrean: Book 1 (Paperback)

Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College . . .

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.

Everyone at Basgiath has an agenda, and every night could be your last. So, sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Worth all the Hype

Thu, 1 Aug 2024 | Review by: Guida

With all the hype about this book and the second one, Iron Flame, I was very sceptical, hence the reason why it took me forever to actually buy and read it. I am glad I did. Engrossing, exciting, powerful and of course, there's dragons. Having since read the second book, I am now excited to read Onyx Storm. Violet is a wonderful, brave and mostly, surprising character, who never gives up on herself. Xaden, perfect, nothing more to say. You will enjoy the twists, the various characters, especially Liam. A warning, don't get too attached. I did, and got my heart broken. Once you start, you have to finish, and leaves you wanting more.
