What Is the Empyrean Series About?

Before diving into the series, a friend recommended "Fourth Wing" to me, describing it as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." While this comparison holds true in the early stages, the series soon evolves to resemble the Twilight saga, morphing into a magical, fantasy romance that doesn't shy away from graphic details.

The narrative centers on Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her formidable mother into attending a perilous academy for dragon riders. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with complex feelings towards her mother, a former friend, and a boy she believes wishes her harm. Amidst this, deeper mysteries involving the dragons and her world unfold, positioning Violet at the heart of an epic romance and a larger, enigmatic plot.
