The first installment in Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean series, titled "Fourth Wing," takes readers into the brutal and exclusive world of a war college for dragon riders. Violet Sorrengail, a twenty-year-old aspiring scholar, is unexpectedly thrust into this world by her formidable mother, who happens to be the commanding general. Despite her physical limitations and the dangers presented by bonding with dragons, which can prove fatal to fragile humans, Violet must compete against hundreds of candidates in hopes of becoming an elite dragon rider. However, she faces numerous adversaries, including Xaden Riorson, a powerful and merciless wingleader, who sees her as a threat. As the external war escalates and the kingdom's defenses weaken, Violet begins to suspect that the leadership is concealing a dreadful secret. In this high-stakes environment, where everyone has their own hidden motives, survival depends on securing an education or facing certain death.

Please note that "Fourth Wing" is the recommended starting point in the Empyrean series, followed by "Iron Flame."
