"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."—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author

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.

Couldn’t put it down

From the very beginning I was invested… and it ended in a great and surprising cliffhanger… can’t wait till the next one. Packed with action, humour, adventure, sad moments and a slooow burning romance. Everything is in here!!
I do have to agree with some of the other reviews in that the reader seemed to have a cold during the first chapters so it made it a bit difficult to enjoy but she got over it and proved to be very good and she is good with both male and female voices. She gave life to the characters.

Absolutely amazing 🤩!!

Poor female narrator is audible unwell so sorry to write this but it was quite off-putting & wanting to ask out loud if you're ok & we can read this together another time.

Absolutely fantastic book & story telling & can't wait for book 2. Iv actually just finished this book & want to restart it again xx

Good book … narration not so much

So I’ll start there … can anyone explain why the dialog is not divided by male and female roles? I’m sure we can all agree that would make listening more enjoyable and would probably help to bond more with the characters. Also it sounds like female narrator has a cold 🤣🤣🤣but the book was really enjoyable …. few dialogues made me laugh out loud really great experience 🙌🏻

The perfect fantasy read

Fourth Wing is a book that reminds you why you love to read. The pacing and world building were absolute perfection. Yarros combines my favourite components of YA and New Adult Fantasy in a beautifully compelling high paced story. If you're a lover of fantasy and of course "tension" that truly pays off (🥵) this is your sign to pick up Fourth Wing now. It not only lived up to the hype but surpassed it.
