Iron Flame is the highly anticipated second book in The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros. Following the intense and exhilarating events of Fourth Wing, the story continues with Violet Sorrengail facing even greater challenges at Basgiath War College.

After surviving her first year—a feat many believed impossible—Violet is no longer just fighting for her place among the elite dragon riders; she is fighting for her life. The trials of the second year are more brutal, the expectations higher, and the dangers deadlier. With the return of old enemies and the emergence of new threats, Violet must push herself beyond her limits, both physically and mentally.

The new vice commandant sees her as a weakness in the ranks and is determined to prove that she does not belong. With betrayal looming on the horizon, Violet must decide who she can truly trust. Her relationship with Xaden Riorson is tested as secrets unravel and powerful forces threaten everything she holds dear.

Despite her physical vulnerabilities, Violet possesses a keen intellect and an unbreakable will. She refuses to be underestimated. Alongside her friends—and her fiercely loyal dragon—she must navigate the deadly politics of the war college, uncover hidden truths, and forge her own path in a world that seems determined to break her.

With high-stakes action, fiery romance, and shocking revelations, Iron Flame takes readers deeper into the world of The Empyrean, delivering an unforgettable sequel filled with adventure, intrigue, and heart-pounding moments.
