‘Onyx Storm’ by Rebecca Yarris

Hardback, Piatkus Books, £25

Brace yourself for the breath-taking follow-up to global bestsellers Fourth Wing and Iron Flame from Rebecca Yarris.

The battle has truly begun, with enemies closing in from within and without. Violet Sorrengail must journey beyond the Arietian wards to seek allies to stand with Navarre.

The trip will challenge every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, to save what she loves - her dragons, her family, her home, and him. Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find - the truth.
