After that cliffhanger ending of Fourth Wing, Iron Flame picks right back up. Secrets spill out and suddenly, everything Violet knows gets turned on its head. The action and danger are amplified as the new vice commandant has it in for Violet. She knows too many secrets; secrets she’s not sure if the top brass know at the training college.
If they do know, they’re not sharing the information. Violet has seen things that not many people would understand. She starts keeping to herself rather than sharing her burden. It creates tension amongst her friends.
Tensions are also high with Xaden. He’s graduated and off serving as a rider. The two dragons aren’t allowed to meet as often as they would like, as Violet is still in college. She’s still fighting to survive between the people who want to hurt her and the knowledge and guilt that are crushing her.
Can Violet’s knowledge of the past save her future?
The second book in this series contains all the elements everyone loved about the first book: romance, danger, action, secrets, betrayals, and plot twists. The stakes are higher in the second book. While this book is hefty in pages, readers will tear through it. Of course, this book also ends on a cliffhanger, leaving everyone anxiously awaiting the next book (out in 2025).
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 might 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 has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
