Exploring the Empyrean Series

Initially described as "Harry Potter with dragons," the series, upon closer examination, reveals a stronger resemblance to the Twilight saga—a magical, fantasy romance with explicit detail.

The narrative follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman compelled by her formidable mother to enter a perilous dragon rider academy. Violet's journey involves overcoming personal weaknesses, navigating complex relationships with her mother, a childhood friend, and a seemingly antagonistic boy, all while uncovering a larger conspiracy within her world, amidst a passionate romance.
