Major Afendra’s Guide to the Riders Quadrant (Unauthorized Edition) Excerpts

  • Fourth Wing: Chapter 2- “There’s a misconception that it’s kill or be killed in the Riders Quadrant. Riders, as a whole, aren’t out to assassinate other cadets…unless there’s a shortage of dragons that year or a cadet is a liability to their wing. Then things may get…interesting” (Yarros 21).
  • Fourth Wing: Chapter 4- “The sparring ring is where riders are made or broken. After all, no respectable dragon would choose a rider who cannot defend themselves, and no respectable cadet would allow such a threat to the wing to continue training” (Yarros 45).
  • Fourth Wing: Chapter 17- “It is therefore only natural that the more powerful the dragon, the more powerful the signet its rider manifests. One should beware of a strong rider who bonds a smaller dragon, but even warier of the unbonded cadet, who will stop at nothing to seize a chance to bond” (Yarros 193)
