Description

Iron Flame is the much-awaited second book in Rebecca Yarros’ The Empyrean series, following the fantastic debut novel Fourth Wing. Published in 2023, the novel follows Violet Sorrengail, a young woman into the brutal world of Basgiath War College in which dragon riders are trained for battle in a war-torn land.

In Iron Flame, Violet really struggles to establish herself as a dragon rider. She has the dark politics, fierce competition, and threats within the college or coming from outside.

Iron Flame is full of action, intrigue among the political elements, and strong emotional moments. The book combines all the best elements of fantasy, romance, and adventure in further building out the magical and high-stakes world established by Fourth Wing. Fans appreciate, not only the thorough development of the characters but also the speed at which the plot advances, further developing and broadening the world as the mystery and danger connected to dragons and their riders gro
