You will not die today. If there is a battle cry in Rebecca Yarros’ 2023 book, Iron Flame, the explosive follow-up to Fourth Wing in The Empyrean series, that would be it. Violet, Xaden, Rhi, Ridoc, Sawyer, Mira, Brennan — all of the Continent, its civilians and leadership, Navarre included, will not die today. Okay, many from the infantry will die, but well, y’know.
