Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author Rebecca Yarros<\/strong>

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general\u2014also known as her tough-as-talons mother\u2014has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre:\u00a0dragon riders<\/em>.

But when you\u2019re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away…because dragons don\u2019t bond to \u201cfragile\u201d 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\u2019s daughter\u2014like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She\u2019ll 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\u2014because once you enter, there are only two ways out:\u00a0graduate or die<\/em>.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

I had seen posts about this book for weeks before I purchased it. When one of my friends said that she loved it and I knew that this wasn’t her normal genre, I had to drop everything to read it and boy, man, gosh, am I ever glad I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book was on a whole other level. I haven’t read something like this in years. The world building, the characters, the friendships, the love, the fighting, the grumpy dragons, the sizzling chemistry…man…seriously, I truly have no words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t read this book fast enough. I had to know what all the hype was and I knew that the book ended in some sort of way but I still wasn’t expecting that<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t felt this way about a book and world since I read The Black Dagger Brotherhood for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world building in this book was top notch, the originality, the heroine…I could keep gushing but trust me when I say this, read this book! I didn’t even read the blurb and went in completely blind and boy am I glad I did. I can’t say it enough but I truly loved this book and it’s now in my top 5 of favourite books I’ve ever read. I don’t re-read books often either but I’m about to jump into re-reading this to get ready for book 2 that comes out on November 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Rebecca, for sharing your world with us and I can’t wait for the rest of this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
