The Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros

Rebecca Yarros delivers pure page-turning entertainment here, combining a brutal military academy setting with dragon lore, rivalry and intense chemistry. It knows exactly how to keep the stakes high and the reader hooked.

EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA Violet Sorrengail expected to live a quiet life surrounded by books, until she was forced onto the world's deadliest training ground. Now she must fight to join the army's elite: dragon riders. But dragons don't choose fragile riders, they incinerate them, and when your body breaks as easily as Violet's does - death is only a heartbeat away.

EVERY NIGHT COULD BE YOUR LAST Many cadets would kill Violet to better their own chances of success; the rest would kill her just because of her last name... including the ruthless Xaden Riorson, her family's greatest enemy.

Ideal for readers who:

• Enjoy romantasy with dragons, danger and ruthless competition
• Like stories about a bookish heroine forced into a lethal war college where everyone has an agenda
• Would enjoy a brutal training academy where dragon riders are made or broken
• Would welcome something adrenaline-fuelled, steamy and wildly bingeable

SECRETS. SACRIFICE. SURVIVAL.

Against all odds, Violet Sorrengail made it through her first year at Basgiath War College, but now, the real training begins. The stakes are higher than ever, and a determination to survive won't be enough this time.

When a powerful new enemy threatens everything she cares about, including the man she loves, Violet must do whatever it takes to keep their secrets safe. One wrong move could have horrifying consequences - and as the web of lies spun by those in charge starts to unravel, nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

ARE YOU READY TO BRAVE THE DARK?
After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there's no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it's impossible to know who to trust.
Now, Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves - her dragons, her family, her home, and him.
Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.
They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find - the truth.
But a storm is coming... and not everyone can survive its wrath.
