Why Readers Can’t Get Enough of Fourth Wing

The story follows Violet Sorrengail, who is thrust into Basgiath War College, a brutal training ground where only the strongest survive—and bond with dragons.

Add to that the presence of dragons with personality, dangerous trials, and a brooding love interest, and you’ve got a recipe for a book that hooks readers from the first chapter.
