š ABOUT IRON FLAME š
āThe first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.ā āXaden Riorson
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War CollegeāViolet 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 Violetās already wondering how sheāll get through. Itās not just that itās grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that itās designed to stretch the ridersā capacity for pain beyond endurance. Itās the new vice commandant, whoās made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she isāunless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violetās body might be weaker and frailer than everyone elseās, she still has her witsāand a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive wonāt be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War Collegeāand nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

š ABOUT FOURTH WING š
Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding generalāalso known as her tough-as-talons motherāhas ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when youāre smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons donāt bond to āfragileā humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her motherās daughterālike Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
Sheāll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agendaābecause once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

š ABOUT COURT OF THE VAMPIRE QUEEN š
All Mina ever wanted was to escape her father's control. Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of eitherāuntil her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion.
Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thoughtāand as fear bleeds into lust, then trust, then something more, Malachi opens Mina up to a world she never knew could be hers for the taking: including the love of Malachi's two closest friends and companions.
Now surrounded by all three men, the center of their shockingly seductive world, Mina may finally have the power to face down her father and take back the lifeāand crownāthat by all rights should be hers.

š ABOUT A TOUCH OF DARKNESSš
From bestselling author, Scarlett St. Clair, comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.
"Let me worship you," he said.
She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.
She answered, "Yes."
Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.
After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead growsāa love that is both captivating and forbidden.
