Return to the brutal and addictive world of Basgiath War College in Rebecca Yarros' Iron Flame—the highly anticipated second book in the record-breaking Empyrean series that has taken BookTok by storm.

The Story: "The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity." — Xaden Riorson

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is—unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet's body may be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won't be enough this time.
