AnswerSee ResultsWhat Is the Empyrean Series About?
A friend described Fourth Wing as "Harry Potter with dragons," which initially seemed accurate. However, the series quickly evolves into a more Twilight-esque magical fantasy romance, featuring explicit detail.
The story follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman forced by her powerful mother into the perilous world of dragon rider training. Violet must overcome her vulnerabilities, confront complex emotions regarding her mother, a former friend, and a rival who seems intent on her demise, all while uncovering a larger conspiracy surrounding dragons and her world—all amidst a passionate romance.
