Fourth Wing

Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail expected a quiet life in the Scribe Quadrant, but her mother, the commanding general, instead orders her into the brutal training to become a dragon rider among the elite of Navarre. Physically smaller and more fragile than her fellow candidates, Violet faces deadly competition, since dragons refuse to bond with those they deem weak and rivals would kill her both to improve their own odds and because of who her mother is. Among the most dangerous to her is a ruthless wingleader named Xaden Riorson. As she fights to survive each day, an external war escalates, the kingdom's protective wards weaken, and Violet begins to suspect the leadership is concealing a dangerous secret.
