Fourth Wing

Every student who enters Basgiath War College has one goal: survive long enough to bond a dragon. For Violet Sorrengail, survival seems like a cruel joke.

Slight, bookish, and never meant for combat, Violet is thrust into the deadly Riders Quadrant by her commanding general mother, trading the quiet life of a scribe for the most dangerous education in the kingdom. The rules are simple — bond a dragon or die trying. With her fragile body and zero combat training, the odds are brutally stacked against her.

Then there's Xaden Riorson. Powerful, ruthless, and breathtakingly dangerous, he's the most feared rider in the quadrant — and he has every reason to want Violet dead. Their families share a history written in betrayal and blood, and Xaden isn't the type to forgive or forget. He doesn't just dislike her. He despises everything she represents.

But dragons choose their riders for reasons no one fully understands, and when one of the most fearsome creatures alive bonds with Violet, everything changes. Including, slowly and furiously, the charged air between her and the one man determined to be her enemy.

Rebecca Yarros constructs a breathtaking fantasy world where war is constant, magic is electric, and the tension between two people who should hate each other is absolutely impossible to resist. *Fourth Wing* is an addictive, pulse-pounding romantasy that will have you reaching for the sequel before you've finished the final page.
