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.
The explosive international phenomenon that redefined modern Romantasy, Rebecca Yarros’s *Fourth Wing* delivers twenty-one breathless hours of deadly military academy trials, fire-breathing dragons, and scorching romantic tension. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail, physically fragile and destined for the quiet life of a bookish scribe, is suddenly forced by her commanding general mother into the brutal Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. In a school where dragons incinerate cadets who show weakness and candidates murder each other for scarce mounts, Violet must rely on razor-sharp intellect and unbreakable willpower to survive, all while locking horns with Xaden Riorson, the lethal, devastatingly attractive wingleader who has every reason to want her dead, creating a dangerous dance of lethal rivalry and undeniable, simmering physical attraction.
In audio format, Yarros's cinematic, adrenaline-fueled pacing translates into an intensely compulsive listening experience that makes hours disappear in minutes. The spoken performance brings out the desperate stakes of the parapet crossing, the visceral danger of aerial dragon combat, and the crackling, electric banter between Violet and Xaden with irresistible emotional intensity.
