Return to Basgiath War College: The Empyrean Series Expands!
Attention, riders and flyers of the Iron Squad! If you’ve been craving more dragon-fire and high-stakes tension since the cliffhangers of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, we have some thrilling news. Author Rebecca Yarros has officially announced the next addition to the Empyrean Series, and while it might not be exactly what some fans speculated, it is bound to be an epic ride.
Get your gear ready, because Threshing Day is officially coming to bookshelves on September 29!
What is ‘Threshing Day’?
For those who have traversed the perils of the series, you know that Threshing Day is the most pivotal—and dangerous—moment in a dragon rider’s life. It is the day when cadets hope to be chosen by a dragon, or face a grim fate.
Unlike the previous novels, Threshing Day is not a direct continuation of Violet Sorrengail’s main narrative. Instead, it is a captivating anthology featuring 13 unique stories. These tales offer a deeper look into the lives of various cadets at Basgiath War College, expanding the lore of the world we’ve come to love.
What Can Fans Expect?
While Violet isn’t the central focus of every story, Yarros has teased that the collection includes perspectives from riders who know her intimately. Most excitingly, Xaden’s Threshing will be one of the featured stories, giving fans a long-awaited glimpse into the past of one of the series’ most complex characters.
Here are the highlight details for collectors:

How to Secure Your Copy
The anticipation is already peaking, and pre-orders have officially opened. Whether you prefer the convenience of an e-book or the prestige of the deluxe hardback, you can find Threshing Day at major retailers such as Amazon Canada, Bookshop, and other local bookstores.
