“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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “I felt like a teenager reading twilight for the first time.”
This book gave me a feeling I’ve chased ever since reading the last page of the first fantasy romance book I ever picked up. This was AMAZING.The narration, while it is kind of obvious Rebecca has a cold in the first half, it’s easy to look past it because of the compelling emotion in her narration. The story was incredible. It’s not earth bending literature of course, but if escaping this world and experiencing a new dystopian world, filled with dragons, slow burn romance, incredible magic and well detailed action is for you? Then I HIGHLY recommend this book. I’m ready for book 2.— James Orta, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Engaging Story”
I personally really liked the female narrator. I have no idea what people found lacking – I thought her voice matched the character well.The story was engaging if a little derivative. It’s a Pern meets Hogwarts meets Hunger Games, etc. kind of vibe. Still, it left me wanting to hear more and I’ll likely continue on to the next book.
Just a bit of fair warning – while a lot about this book reminded me of other YA novels, there are some steamy and reasonably graphic descriptions of sex between the main characters.

4/5 stars — “Great book, really don’t like the narrator “
Fun YA fantasy and interesting story. I buy audible versions to complement my kindle reading but dang listening to the narrator here is tough.— Harrison, Audible listener
