Books Like Fourth Wing

Fourth Wing is enemies to lovers, dragon rider & magic academy — steamy (3/5), first-person, ending on a cliffhanger. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail is forced by her commanding-general mother to enter Basgiath War College's brutal Riders Quadrant despite a chronic connective-tissue disorder that makes her bones fragile and survival unlikely. She must bond a dragon, outlast deadly trials where cadets actively kill each other, and resist a dangerous attraction to Xaden Riorson — the most powerful rider in the quadrant and the son of a rebel her mother had executed. Beneath the kill-or-be-killed academy lies a hidden war and kingdom-shaking secrets that upend everything Violet believed about Navarre.
