Book #2 in the Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order (read after Fourth Wing)

Violet Sorrengail faces the ultimate challenge at Basgiath War College, where survival means defying a sadistic vice commandant and uncovering a centuries-old secret. Weakened but resilient, Violet relies on her wits and willpower, determined to make her own rules as a dragon rider. In the ruthless world of Basgiath, even the power of dragon fire may not be sufficient to save them all.

Why are Dad’s pirate jokes funny? Because they arrr in this pun-filled, giggle-worthy tribute to the paternal comedians among us.Captain Dad and his crew are having a day at the ocean, and of course Dad is bringing his treasure chest of jokes. Aye-aye, you say? Just one eye, Dad corrects, pointing to his patch. Why does he like to eat on the beach? Because of the sand-which-is there, he explains. Whether it’s a ship he bought on sail or an earring that costs one buccaneer, a day with Dad is shore to be hilarious. At least he seems to think so! - Amazon
