After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.
Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.
Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves―her dragons, her family, her home, and him.
Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.
They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find―the truth.
But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Welcome to book three of the Empyrean Series. I will admit that I had a hard time putting this book down. We may be reading things mostly as Violet learns them, but this is Xaden’s villain story. Violet watches him become venin and does her best to help him try to overcome it. The book ends with him fully embracing the powers of the venin and we learn that he has a “brother” who is joining him as venin.
This book may end on a huge cliffhanger with many theories as to what happens in book 4. We know we will find out who else turned venin but I believe Rebecca Yarros has hinted at someone will die as well. I really loved this book and personally can’t wait for book 4.
