In 'Fourth Wing,' a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, Violet Sorrengail faces impossible odds at the Basgiath War College where she must either bond with a dragon to become a revered rider or face certain death. Being smaller and more fragile than her peers, Violet struggles not only to survive the cutthroat competition but also battles against a backdrop of a worsening war and uncovering a dire secret that could change everything. Alliances and rivalries form as she navigates a world where every night could be her last, and her success hinges on outwitting those who seek her downfall, including the formidable Xaden Riorson. The only two paths forward are stark: emerge victorious as a dragon rider or perish.
