Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros - Book 2 of 3, Paperback

Synopsis

First you survive. Then you fly.

Don’t miss the explosive new sequel to Rebecca Yarros’s bestselling hit, Fourth Wing.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail has survived her first year at Basgiath War College for dragon riders…but the danger’s just beginning in the electrifying, pulse-pounding follow-up to the Fourth Wing by USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros. The heat levels of Sarah J. Maas meets the story-telling of Leigh Bardugo, with a fresh take on dragons not seen since Robin Hobb, set in an elite war college for dragon riders where the only rule is graduate or die.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
