Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times 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.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Customer Reviews

Found my new favorite series!!

Saw that this book was getting a lot of hype and decided to give it a try. Found my self hooked after the first chapter. Right away your put into this world that makes you want to know more about it and the characters that inhabit it. Action, love, dragons, and magic what more could you ask for!! I am now devouring the next two books.

Obsessed

This book has consumed me for the past 3 days and legit a fre chapters away of finishing. I hadn't read this fast since I discovered james patterson in high school. I am obsessed I am not one to ready fantasy but the dragons the cadets the world the spice it all worth it !! It lime Harry potter 2.0 rated r with a disclaimer of SPICE 😅 love it.

I quite literally couldn’t get enough of it!

I’m not one for reading books, I’d rather craft. My sister talked me into reading. The summary had me wanting more so I got the first book….. I finished it in 2 weeks which is extremely fast for me. I struggled putting it down honestly. It’s so well written and detailed that I could imagine everything in my head as I read it, like my own personal show.

Amazing!

I was leery to read but this book was amazing. Think Harry Potter for adults but with way more dragons! Reader beware there is lots of spice to be found in these pages!

Fantastic!

I normally wouldn't have read this, but it was a book club read. I couldn't put it down! Well written and just a great read. You won't be disappointed!

Stayed up all night to read it!

First book in a long time that I literally could not put down! Stayed up all night to read it and it was completely worth it! Can’t wait for the next one!
