She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
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. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. 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.īut 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. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Here’s how the publisher describes the story. (And in a world where any weakness carries the threat of death or rejection by the dragons the candidates are meant to ride, this condition is doubly dangerous for her.) But when her commander general mother orders her into the academy to fight for a coveted spot as a dragon rider, she’s left with little choice, despite the fact that her disability means her bones and ligaments are weaker than her classmates and she’s more easily injured. The story follows Violet, a twentysomething young woman whose goal was always to live a quiet life as a scholar studying books and history. And now bestselling author Rebecca Yarros-known for books like The Last Letter and The Things We Leave Unfinished enters the proverbial arena with Fourth Wing, an epic fantasy romance about an elite war college for dragon riders. Dragon stories are all the rage right now Samantha Shannon’s epic Roots of Chaos series to Naomi Novik’s genre-bending Temeraire books, we apparently can’t get enough of these magical creatures.
