"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.

This book is perfect! wonderful writing and storytelling, good pace, complex characters. This book keeps your interest from very early on all the way through, the last 3 hrs especially is so full of action, sorrow, twists and turns and revelations I couldn't put it down. Only bad thing is the next book isnt out yet.

Amazing book!!!

After reading the other reviews, I wonder if they re-recorded the narration. I did not hear any of the complaints about sniffing or coughing that others have mentioned. In fact, during the fight scenes, the narrator's voice was awesome and really made the scenes more exciting.

Loved the story, just downloaded book 2 and 3.

Excellent book, excellent narration
