Iron Flame

What happens when the battle you just survived was only the beginning?

In Iron Flame, bestselling author Rebecca Yarros returns with the explosive sequel to Fourth Wing, taking us back into the deadly world of Basgiath War College, where dragons fly, secrets burn, and the line between friend and foe is thinner than ever.

This isn’t just a fantasy it’s an emotional rollercoaster of courage, loss, love, and war. If you thought Violet Sorrengail’s journey was over, think again. The real fight has just begun.

The War Is No Longer a Test It’s Real. It’s Ruthless. It’s Personal.

After barely surviving her first year at the war college, Violet thought she had proven herself.

She bonded with a powerful dragon. She trained harder than anyone thought she could. She defied the odds and even fell in love with someone she was taught to hate.

But now? Everything has changed.

The enemy is no longer outside the gates it’s inside.

The rules have been rewritten, and trust is shattered.

The truth about the war they’re fighting is darker and more dangerous than anyone could imagine.

In Iron Flame, Violet is no longer just a student. She’s a soldier. A leader. And a target.

Violet Sorrengail: The Girl Who Was Never Supposed to Survive

They said she was too fragile. Too small. Not meant for the Rider Quadrant.

But Violet proved them all wrong. She bonded not with one but two dragons, a rare and dangerous bond that changed her destiny forever.

Now, with power in her blood and fire at her back, she’s stronger, smarter, and more determined than ever.

But that doesn’t mean she’s safe. In fact, her strength has made her more dangerous in the eyes of those who want to control the outcome of the war. And some people will do anything to silence her voice.

Enemies Closer Than Ever And Love That Could Break Everything

Xaden Riorson, once the most feared student at Basgiath, is now Violet’s greatest ally and the man who holds her heart.

But trust between them is tested like never before as secrets from his past begin to surface.

As Violet is pulled into missions that push her to the edge and into battles that test her soul, her relationship with Xaden becomes more intense... and more complicated.

Can love survive in a world built on lies and blood?

New Challenges, Fierce Training, and Unimaginable Power

The training at Basgiath is more brutal than ever. New instructors bring new levels of cruelty.

Students are disappearing. The dragons are restless. And Violet begins to suspect that some leaders would rather sacrifice her than let her uncover the truth.

This time, she’s not just fighting to survive school.

She’s fighting for the truth about the war, the freedom of the dragons, and the future of her people.

She’s learning to harness powers she doesn’t fully understand, facing enemies she never saw coming, and making choices that could change the world or destroy it.
