Fourth Wing

Twenty-year old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books ad history. Now, the commanding general – 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 with 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 Xadan Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Rider Quadrant.
