Summary
They say the first year at Basgiath breaks you physically.
The second year breaks you mentally.
Now a second-year rider and the newly appointed Squad Leader of Second Wing, Flame Section, Second Squad, Rowan Sorrengail has more to lose—and more to hide—than ever before.
The Riders Quadrant demands endurance through torture, higher stakes, and merciless loss. But Rowan’s battles extend far beyond the training field. A rebellion brews in secret, his father’s slow poisoning remains unsolved, and the fragile loyalty of his squad rests squarely on his shoulders.
The first-years he’s meant to lead—wide-eyed and untested—remind him painfully of who he used to be. Just a week ago, Rowan and his own squad had stood as first-years: bruised, scarred, and still standing only by the will of their dragons and each other.
Still, there’s no time to grieve.
The Games may be over, but the real war has only just begun.
And this year, their bonds with one another might not be enough to keep them safe.
This is the sequel to Another Flame in the Fire.

Summary
“You promised.” I say it like a prayer, like a command. “You promised I get to decide when you die. Promise me. Please promise me you will live.”
Liam looks at me and the light in his eyes dims. “I will—”
“Say it again.” I’m almost shouting. I lean in until our foreheads touch, tears sliding down my face to smear across his bloody cheek. “ Say it like you mean it.”
He swallows. “I…promise.” The syllables are fought for. I clutch at him like I can anchor him with my hands.
“You promised me. Remember you promised me, Liam. If you fall, I fall. If you die, I die. That’s the rule.” I press my mouth to his temple and whisper. "Let me be the one to decide. You promised.”

For Sol Dawnstar, loving Liam Mairi was the easy part. But love is never enough. Not when the dead don’t stay dead and hidden truths claw their way to the surface, Sol has to decide what matters more: the answers he’s been chasing, or the consequences of finding them.Series

Summary
Iron flame arc and Sequel to On My Honor.
“Um isn’t Mairi a higher rank?” Someone asks.
“Oh yeah, but I follow her.” Liam nods.
“He’ll give his orders when he needs to. don’t let his pretty face fool you,” Isela says shaking her head and placing a hand teasingly under his chin. “His instincts and reflexes aren’t even human. And He’s good for reconnaissance even without his signet. I follow him.”
Or in other words. With Xaden out of the quadrant only returning every 14 days due to his dragon’s bond with Violet, Isela finds herself thrust into taking her place amongst the other marked ones as The Spare.

Summary
They were children when they first met—two heirs from opposing worlds who were never meant to be friends, let alone fall in love. But Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson were reckless enough to believe they could defy bloodlines, rebellion, and fate itself.
Then Fen Riorson declared the rebellion. Families burned, trust shattered, and Violet was forced to watch the boy she loved become the enemy her mother swore to destroy.
Years later, the Riders Quadrant brings them face-to-face once more. He is shadows, scarred and dangerous. She is lightning, unbroken but still haunted. Between them lies betrayal, memory, and a truth darker than rebellion.
Dragons never forget—and neither do hearts.
*Spoilers for Fourth Wing, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm*

Summary
My name is Sloane Mairi, and I remember nothing.
Eight years of my life? Gone.Oh, and in case that wasn’t enough:
—Woke up married to Dain Aetos (kill me now).
—Thoirt’s ignoring me.
—Someone wants me dead.
—And Aaric’s tying the knot with Cat. But it’s just politics… right?So, between amnesia, assassination plots, and a husband I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have chosen sober, life’s been a real treat.
Lucky me.

Summary
Theirs is a tale written in fragments: in touches that never lingered long enough, in words left unsaid, in moments missed not by accident, but by design. Their love story was always written in the margins—glimpsed in stolen glances, held together by silence and circumstance, by longing restrained rather than shared. It was forged in the fire of war and betrayal, in the quiet space between who they were and who they had to become. And now, as the world shifts beneath their feet and the past refuses to stay buried, fates become entwined once more, both Violet and Xaden find themselves haunted not just by the memory of what they had, but by the hollow absence of what they never dared to reach for.
Because how can a love like theirs ever end… when it never had the chance to truly begin?
(A Post Onyx Storm Fic).

Summary
Basgaith is no longer a war college. It is a graveyard. A throne room for the venin overlords. Dragged in chains, Roe remembers nothing - not her past, not her name and not why her heart clenches when shadows curl at her throat. The venin call her worthless, a slave to be broken but she feels fragments stirring inside her, the remnants of a life once lived. It whispers of fire, blood and a vow she can't recall.
When Xaden Riorson, the Great Betrayer, tests the emptiness of her mind something sparks between them - something he should destroy but doesn't. Even the broken can be dangerous and sometimes, what remains is enough to burn an empire.

Summary
PLEASE NOTE: This is loosely cannon. Some lines of dialogue will be the same, but not all. It will have main events/actions, but not all will follow line with the original book.
Xaden Riorson and his sister Ravyn have survived two years. But now they've got their youngest sister to protect, and a Sorrengail. They need to navigate the quadrant with not just the lives of every marked one, but the daughter of the very woman who killed their father under their protection. They hate her, right? There's no way they could learn not to, not after what happened to them. But secrets are powerful things, and their lives relying on each others are even more powerful.

Summary
Liam was only trying to save his brother — the same way Xaden had once given him a chance to live. When Xaden became a Venin and enraged the gods enough to earn a terrible fate, Liam knew he had to try to return the favor.
Now, begging the gods wasn’t exactly the smartest choice, but it was all he could do. What Liam didn’t expect was that the gods would actually answer his plea — and grant a second chance not only to Xaden, but to everyone.
Suddenly, Liam found himself in a room with a group that could change everything, and five books that held the story of the future of their world.
Would Liam’s efforts be enough?

Summary
Reja is in her second year of training in the Healer Quadrant. She has learned not to be impressed – not by blood, not by pain, not even by the cadets dragged in with broken bones. But when a man is brought in one day whose mere presence unsettles even Nolon, one of the most experienced healers in their ward, her world begins to shift.
His name is Aaric Graycastle – but who exactly is he?
And then, it’s not her staring at him. It’s him – his eyes wide, startled, as if the mere sight of her had thrown him off balance. His gaze trails over her body, inch by inch, as though she were a puzzle he refuses to understand.
And suddenly, a story begins – one of love and duty, that was never meant to be. -

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is in trouble. After a research paper she wrote for class condemning the current administration's handling of the conflict in Deverelli is leaked to the public, Violet finds herself under the microscope of public scrutiny. For any normal grad student, this wouldn't have been a blip on anyone's radar. Unfortunately for Violet, her mother is a high-ranking advisor in President Tauri's administration and a key architect in the country's military response to the conflict. While Violet thinks the scandal will blow over quickly, her mother's colleagues are increasingly worried about the threats against Violet's life that have been circulating online.
Xaden Riorson is screwed. After starting a private security firm with his best friend and cousin, Xaden was hoping to make a name for himself, far away from his father's presidential campaign. In a cruel twist of fate, their first client turns out to be the daughter of one of Fen's staunch political rivals. At first glance, the job seemed straightforward — protect the girl from an overzealous fanboy, who hated what she wrote. But things are not as simple as they seem, and it appeared that Violet Sorrengail would be bringing nothing but trouble to his door.
