Guide to Iron Flame
Iron Flame Release Date
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros will be published on November 7, 2023.
Few details are known, but Rebecca Yarros herself has hinted that “it deals with fallout of what Violet’s discovered in the first book, and we can expect the world to expand and for the mysteries to deepen.”
Iron Flame Description
The publisher also recently shared the following description:
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 Today Show also recently published an excerpt from Iron Flame.
Iron Flame Special Edition
There will be a limited edition first print run of the hardcover version of Iron Flame “featuring spray-painted edges with gorgeously detailed map endpapers. This breathtaking first edition is only available for a limited time and while supplies last.”
Since the special edition of Fourth Wing with stenciled edges sold out so fast (and is basically being scalped at super high prices on re-sale sites), if you want the Special Edition, I HIGHLY recommend you pre-order it NOW.
