Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)

by Rebecca Yarros

“Without accurate depictions of our front lines, reliable information with which to make strategic decisions, and—most importantly—veracious details to document our history for the good of future generations, we’re doomed, not only as a kingdom but as a society.”

There is nothing more sacred than the Archives. Even temples can be rebuilt, but books cannot be rewritten.

It only takes one desperate generation to change history—even erase it.

“I’m not afraid of hard work, especially not when I know just how sweet the rewards are. I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I’ll do it. You gave me your heart, and I’m keeping it.”
