graduate or die — those are the only two options at Basgiath.
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was raised for the Scribe Quadrant — a quiet life spent among books and history. Her mother has other plans. As commanding general of Navarre, she orders Violet into the Riders Quadrant instead, alongside hundreds of candidates fighting to become dragon riders at the brutal Basgiath War College.
Violet is smaller and more fragile than her peers, and in this world, dragons don't bond to the breakable — they incinerate them. With more cadets than dragons to go around, her classmates are just as dangerous as the trials themselves. Half the quadrant wants her dead to thin the competition; the other half wants her dead simply for her mother's bloodline. At the front of that second group is Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader at Basgiath, whose father was executed on Violet's mother's orders.
Violet has exactly one rule to hold onto if she wants to survive her first year: don't die. But as she and Xaden are forced into each other's orbit again and again, the hatred between them starts curdling into something far more dangerous than either of them wants to admit.
Fourth Wing is book one in the Empyrean series and kicks off with graphic violence, explicit content, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that doesn't fully ignite until deep into the book. Reading order: Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Onyx Storm.
