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.

OVER ONE MILLION READERS HAVE ALREADY GIVEN FOURTH WING FIVE STARS. ARE YOU READY TO ENTER THE WORLD OF BASGIATH WAR COLLEGE?
