Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

* Three Bonus Chapters are now included at the end of this production! Chapters 9, 16 and 27 from Xaden's perspective.

Great audiobook

I am the big fan of the Fourth Wing series and while I love the original audiobook and narrator, the graphic audio version was very fun. All the Voice actors did really well. The sound effects really made you feel like you listening to a movie. If you like audios, this one is for you

Graphic Audio - Just Okay

Infinity stars for the book (which I’ve listened to about 15 times now), but only 4 stars for this Graphic Audio version. It wasn’t bad by any means, but the things that got to me really got to me, and I probably won’t listen to these again over the standard Rebecca Soler version. My biggest issues were mainly because of mispronunciation of so many names throughout. Not sure why the actors weren’t all given a pronunciation guide so they would all say names the same way, but the inconsistency was hard to get past. Some of the side character actors also lacked inflection when they were speaking. Tairn roars “lightning wielder” in the book with so much pride, but it was barely distinguishable as a line in this audio. Garrick was also emotionless, when he interrupts Xaden and Vi to tell them that a lot of people are dead, there wasn’t a hint of alarm or urgency behind the words, it was just stated like a fact. I’m also kind of sick of the fact that Graphic Audio uses the sound of walking on rocks for about 80% of the sound effects, and misses other sounds that could be so easy to put in. It was the same way in ACOTAR, it just makes it seem like the entire book revolves around people walking around and not doing anything else. The fight scene at the end did sound really good though, with the wind, the fire breathing, the wyvern cries, etc. And the actors for Vi and Xaden did amazing through it, particularly the emotion in their voices at the death. That whole scene redeemed this audio for me, just not enough to listen again when the standard version is so amazing.

GraphicAudio narration Far Above OG audiobook

This book and storyline is amazing….I originally purchased the original audible version and just couldn’t get into the story because I really disliked the female narrator. This version breathed realistic life into the story and made it so intense and enjoyable. Now I am sad because I have to wait until the GraphicAudio version of Iron Flame comes out because I just cannot listen to this series any other way now!

Outstanding story telling!

Okay. I was hard on Part 1. But I’m glad that Graphic Audio took everyone’s reviews into consideration! Tairn is *chefs kiss* perfect now! And Xaden changed up his presentation! I LOVED part 2! I can’t wait for Iron Flame GA!!!!!!!!!

One of my faves

Brilliant narration. Loved every minute of this audiobook. I always look forward to a Graphic Audio production!
