Iron Flame By Rebecca Yarros

The deadly second year at Basgiath War College begins. Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die her first year. Now, the real training begins—and so do the consequences of her unprecedented bond with not one, but two dragons.

Xaden Riorson has pledged his life to protect her, but the secret he’s keeping could shatter the fragile trust between them. As Violet uncovers more about the dark truths the leadership is hiding, the target on her back grows.

New allies emerge, old enemies sharpen their knives, and the borders protecting Navarre begin to fail. To survive, Violet will need every ounce of her wit, her growing power, and the fierce loyalty of her dragon Tairn. But when the embers of war ignite into an iron flame, she must decide: Is saving the kingdom worth becoming the very monster she fears? The epic, unputdownable sequel to the #1 international bestseller Fourth Wing.
