Fourth Wing, The Graphic Novel: Volume One

The edition guide

A closer look.

Violet Sorrengail expected a life among books. Instead, she is sent into a military college where earning a dragon’s bond means surviving rivals, punishing training and a system with little room for weakness. Rebecca Yarros adapts the opening half of her novel, while Anabel Rossi’s full-colour artwork gives Basgiath, its cadets and its dragons a visual form.

Why return to this book?

For returning readers, the interest lies in seeing familiar people and places through a visual interpretation. New readers should know that this is an adult fantasy-romance adaptation and the first part of a divided story.
