Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying. Amid ruthless competition and dragon fire, these thirteen cadets must survive a battlefield where desperate rivals will do anything to gain an advantage and dragons decide one’s ultimate fate—and where a single choice can forge a rider … or destroy them.

Xaden Riorson, the powerful leader. Rhiannon Matthias, the clever friend. Dain Aetos, the dutiful rule-follower. Liam Mairi, the kindhearted protector. Ridoc Gamlyn, the jokester. Sawyer Henrick, the underdog. Garrick Tavis, the dependable aide. Imogen Cardulo, the impulsive fighter. Bodhi Durran, the second-in-command. Mira Sorrengail, the fearless rider. Brennan Sorrengail, the brilliant tactician. Aaric Graycastle, the restless royal. Sloane Mairi, the determined sister.

On Threshing Day, there’s only one rule: don’t die.

The Empyrean series is best read in order:

Fourth Wing

Lacking progression in story line

It’s a filler book that adds nothing to the story line. All of these could have been added into onyx storm or the next book.

Loved it so much!

This was so great to listen to. Ridic is my favorite and I love his dragon!

OMG didn't disappoint

I enjoyed these short stories especially Ridic's. That had me laughing 😂 Wish there were more short stories from their perspectives. I'd like to hear more from Solane and Alaric.

A new view

I really enjoyed listening to all of the different points of view for threshing. It really gave me a better depth of understanding other characters. Also, it was fun to see the personalities of so many of the dragons. Definitely worth a listen

Great performances

The voice actor performances are so great! The sound effects make you feeling like you’re in the forest on Threshing Day. Such a fun listen!
