Fourth Wing

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was preparing to become a scribe and live quietly among books and dusty documents. But her mother — a celebrated general — would not tolerate weakness in any form. So Violet is forced to join the hundreds of young people who are trying to become the elite of Navarre — dragon riders. However, from the military academy Basgiat there are only two ways out: graduate or die. Death is on the heels of every cadet, because dragons don’t choose weaklings. They burn them. The cadets themselves will also kill to improve their chances of success. Some are ready to kill Violet just because she is her mother’s daughter. For example, Xayden Riorson — a strong and merciless wing commander in the riders’ quadrant. Meanwhile, the war that Navarre is waging is becoming even more brutal, and very soon Violet will have to go into battle.
