The Bookstore Plus is excited to bring the magic of the Basgiath War College to readers of Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean series! 

Come dressed in your rider black and mingle with your fellow riders! We will have snacks, drinks, and fun activities. We will have swag for the first 50 pre-orders (your pre-order is your ticket to the party!) AND two signed bookplates for the best-dressed of the night!

Doors open at 11:30 pm. Mingle, eat, drink, and have fun taking quizzes to find out which quadrant you’d belong in or which dragon would choose you!

MIDNIGHT—books will be handed out! 

About The Book: After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

But a storm is coming…and not everyone can survive its wrath.
