Fourth Wing

Fourth Wing (The Empyrean) introduces readers to Violet Sorrengail’s brutal and dangerous path toward becoming a dragon rider. Originally set to lead a quiet scholarly life, her fate changes when her mother orders her into the deadly world of Basgiath’s War College, where only the strongest survive.

Facing fierce competition and physical fragility, Violet must confront rivals, political secrets, and the possibility that the leadership itself is hiding darker truths. Bonded with dragons does not come easily — and for someone labeled “fragile,” failure means death.
