Publisher Description
Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying. Amid ruthless competition and dragon fire, these thirteen cadets must survive a battlefield where desperate rivals will do anything to gain an advantage and dragons decide one’s ultimate fate—and where a single choice can forge a rider…or destroy them.
Xaden Riorson, the powerful leader. Rhiannon Matthias, the clever friend. Dain Aetos, the dutiful rule-follower. Liam Mairi, the kindhearted protector. Ridoc Gamlyn, the jokester. Sawyer Henrick, the underdog. Garrick Tavis, the dependable aide. Imogen Cardulo, the impulsive fighter. Bodhi Durran, the second-in-command. Mira Sorrengail, the fearless rider. Brennan Sorrengail, the brilliant tactician. Aaric Graycastle, the restless royal. Sloane Mairi, the determined sister.
On Threshing Day, there’s only one rule: don’t die.
The ebook edition of Threshing Day features fifteen beautiful original black-and-white illustrations by artist Joe Requeza.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.
Reading Order:

Though Threshing Day can be enjoyed as an introduction to the series, due to contained spoilers, it is best read after Onyx Storm.
Customer Reviews
Excellent yet disappointing
Yarros is an excellent writer and even though I really enjoyed this book I was also disappointed expecting a continuation to the cliff hanger of book three. Still waiting to that continuation of the story.
Disappointed not a continuation…
Not worth it. Story not continued. Very disappointed, especially for the price. Hope they can get next out asap.
A Little Novella With A LOT to Unpack
I finished Threshing Day in about three hours, and this was exactly the little Fourth Wing fix I needed while we impatiently wait for book four.
Except… “filler” might be the wrong word, because this little novella has been living rent-free in my head for DAYS.
There is so much new information packed into such a short read. So many new questions. So many little details that had me stopping and going, “Hmmmm… Rebecca, what exactly are you doing here?” 👀 There are things that suddenly feel important, things I’m looking at differently now, and still so many pieces of this giant puzzle left to put together.
And because this fandom can turn a single sentence into a 47-page conspiracy theory, I’m not saying ANYTHING else. 😂 I refuse to spoil it.
What I will say is that this doesn’t feel like a throwaway novella written just to keep us occupied between books. There are enough breadcrumbs here to make me think we’ll be coming back to some of these details later—and now I have even more questions than I did before.
Was it worth dropping everything and devouring it in three hours?
Absolutely.
If you’re already invested in the Empyrean series, don’t skip this one. It’s short, it’s easy to fly through, and there’s a lot more hiding in these pages than I expected.
5 stars. Now please give us book four because my conspiracy board is running out of room. 😂🐉📚
