Empyrean Books in Order
Welcome to Basgiath War College, where dragons choose their riders and most students don't survive to graduation.
Rebecca Yarros's addictive fantasy romance series follows Violet Sorrengail, who was supposed to live a quiet life as a scribe until her war hero mother forced her into the deadliest quadrant at the most brutal military academy in the realm. With her small stature and chronic illness making her a target from day one, Violet must survive assassins, deadly training exercises, and the terrifying Threshing where dragons bond with their chosen riders - or incinerate those found unworthy.
But her biggest challenge might just be Xaden Riorson, the devastatingly dangerous Wing Leader whose father killed her brother, making him her sworn enemy and the last person she should be falling for. As Violet discovers powers she never knew she possessed and uncovers secrets that could topple kingdoms, she learns that at Basgiath War College, the real war isn't against dragons, it's against everyone who underestimates what she's capable of becoming.
This is the series that broke BookTok, dominated bestseller lists worldwide, and made dragons the hottest book boyfriends since vampires, delivering heart-stopping romance, found family bonds, and cliffhangers so brutal they should come with a warning label.
