Exploring the Empyrean Series

Initially described as "Harry Potter with dragons," the series, while starting with that element, evolves into a more Twilight-esque narrative. It's a magical fantasy romance with explicit content.

The story follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman compelled by her formidable mother to join a perilous dragon rider academy. Violet's journey involves overcoming personal weaknesses, navigating complex relationships with her mother, a former friend, and a seemingly antagonistic young man, all while uncovering a larger conspiracy within a world of dragons and intense romance.
