Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)

by Rebecca Yarros

“known for their keen intellect, descend from the honorable Uaineloidsig line, and continue to be the most rational of dragonkind, making them the perfect siege weapons, especially in the case of clubtails.”

Orange dragons, coming in various shades of apricot to carrot, are the most—I throw myself to the next rail—unpredictable of dragonkind and therefore

always a risk.

Descending from the Fhaicorain line—

My scalp prickles and Xaden stops mid-step ten feet away,

He cocks his head to the side. “You really don’t, do you?”

“Killing you wouldn’t be any trouble, Violence. It’s leaving you alive that seems to cause the majority of my trouble.”
