Fourth Wing - Cánh Tư
Câu chuyện xoay quanh nhân vật Violet Sorrengail hai-mươi-tuổi cho rằng mình sẽ vào Khối Quân ký sống một cuộc đời bình lặng giữa sách vở và lịch sử của vương quốc Navarre. Tuy nhiên, cô bị mẹ mình, cũng là tổng chỉ huy Học viện quân sự Basgiath, ép thi vào một chuyên ngành mà cô không thích tại chính ngôi trường này. Tham vọng của mẹ Violet rất rõ ràng: bà muốn con gái mình trở thành một kỵ sĩ cưỡi rồng và gia nhập vào binh chủng cao cấp nhất của vương quốc Navarre hùng mạnh.
Ngặt nỗi, với cơ thể lẻo khoẻo và nhỏ con hơn so những học viên khác, thể nào cái chết cũng sẽ đến với Violet trong gang tấc… bởi lẽ rồng không chấp nhận kỵ sĩ “lẻo khoẻo”. Chúng sẽ đốt cháy họ.
Bên cạnh đó, số lượng rồng muốn gắn kết ít hơn số học viên, nên hầu hết học viên muốn sát hại Violet để nâng cao cơ hội của mình. Những kẻ còn lại thì chọn cách kết liễu đời cô chỉ vì cô là con gái của mẹ cô - Xaden Riorson, thủ lĩnh gan góc và tàn nhẫn nhất thuộc Khối Kỵ binh.
Violet buộc phải vận dụng trí tuệ của mình để sống sót.
Tuy nhiên, mỗi ngày trôi qua, cuộc chiến ngày càng trở nên nguy hiểm hơn, đội bảo vệ vương quốc đuối sức dần và thất bại, số người chết tiếp tục tăng cao. Tệ hơn nữa, Violet bắt đầu nghi ngờ giới lãnh đạo đang che giấu một bí mật khủng khiếp.
Bạn bè, kẻ thù, tình yêu. Mọi người ở Trường Basgiath chỉ có hai lựa chọn khi muốn thoát khỏi đây: hoặc tốt nghiệp, hoặc từ bỏ cuộc sống.
Great And Precious Things
How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?
Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him-especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.
When he receives a desperate message from his father, all of the memories come rushing back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again. But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.
If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she's always loved him, and always will...
Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching story about family, betrayal, and what we're willing to sacrifice for those who need us most.

__________________________________________
“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” ―Xaden Riorson
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

The Last Letter
One final letter. His last wish. Go and be with her...
Beckett,
If you're reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn't. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have.
I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella's raising the twins alone. She's too independent and won't accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It's too much for anyone to endure. It's not fair.
So if I'm gone, that means I can't be there for Ella. I can't help them through this. But you can. So I'm begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family. Please don't make her go through it alone.
Ryan

__________________________________________
Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .
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.
Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers. But sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
