Summary
Alyxandra Tavis is one of the marked children, branded by the Apostasy, and bound by a bargain she never agreed to.
Unlike the others, she doesn’t view Xaden Riorson’s deal with General Sorrengail as salvation—it’s still a death sentence. A delay of the inevitable.
To Lyxa, survival came at too high a cost. If she and the other marked children had died with their parents, the resistance might have lived on. They might have been remembered as martyrs for change, instead of traitors to the regime.
Deep down, she knows her fury is misdirected. But rage needs a target, and Xaden plays the perfect one.
As Lyxa is now entering her first year at Basgiath, she and Xaden must find a way to survive each other. Because if the Navarrians and dragons don’t get to them first...they just might kill each other. -

Summary
Eleanor “Len” Lennox is a survivor. Scarred, feral, and feared by all, she thrives in the chaos of Basgiath War College. When she bonds with Noxarathian—an ancient, deadly white dragon known for killing his riders—Len becomes something extraordinary. Together, they wield Shadowfire, a destructive power capable of annihilating the Venin threatening Navarre.
But beneath her terrifying reputation lies a fractured soul. Len keeps her scars, her pain, and her dark past hidden, even from her closest friends, Xaden Riorson and Bodhi Durran. The only person who dares to break through her walls is Garrick Tavis, the one man who might teach her what it means to love—and to heal.
As rebellion brews and the Venin’s power grows, Len must embrace the shadows within her. Because saving the people she loves might demand the ultimate sacrifice.

Summary
Part I: The Duke and His Friend Violet
During a tense diplomatic visit to Calldyr, Duke Fen Riorson encounters a curious child—Violet Sorrengail, the youngest daughter of his rival general. Frail in body but fierce in mind, she disarms him with her unfiltered honesty and impossible hope. In her laughter, he finds something he thought he’d lost: light. But fate is not kind to dreamers, and even friendship can be a dangerous thing for a man bound by duty and war.Part II: The Little Duke and Duchess
Fen wakes in Calldyr to the echo of a nightmare—one that felt too real to dismiss. Was it memory, prophecy… or a message from the goddess Amari herself?Determined to change the fate he’s seen, Fen takes a different path—one where his son will not inherit pain, but the chance for something purer. He dares to imagine a world where ten-year-old Xaden Riorson meets eight-year-old Violet Sorrengail not as strangers divided by politics, but as children bound by something timeless.
But destiny is never simple. When the little duke and the little duchess finally meet, what begins as innocence may ignite the kind of spark that reshapes legacies.

Summary
“You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.
“No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”
Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.
A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

Summary
Dorothea 'Thea' Sorrengail found herself at the bottom of her family hierarchy. Her father favored her twin sister, Violet, and her older sister showed the same preference.

Her only ally, her older brother, is now absent, leaving her alone.

Soon Thea discovered that truths she held dear were actually lies, while some deceptions were the reality. Furthermore, she became aware that a Separatist's child had taken interest in her.

Summary
The words dissolved into a sob.
“Take me back,” I begged. “I know you can, Andarna. Please. I need—I need to fix this.”

—
Violet and Xaden’s daughter, Fenna, begs Andarna to take her back in time so she can undo her parents’ deaths. But with Andarna so agitated and in pain, it’s not twenty hours back in time—it’s twenty years, which turns out to be a total and complete disaster.

Xaden POV: Fourth Wing by belle_beebee
Fandoms: Fourth Wing, The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
26 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he’s risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin.
But he hadn’t counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General’s daughter, entering the Rider’s Quadrant. She’s not supposed to be here and she’s about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself?
This follows the dialogue and events of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing, retold from Xaden’s perspective. This was written prior to the release of Iron Flame, so all theories and speculation are my own and unconfirmed. It's my best guess at exploring how Xaden might have felt throughout the story and features new scenes with Liam, Garrick, Imogen, Sgaeyl and Tairn. Major plot spoilers from the very first chapter.
All rights belong to Rebecca Yarros – thank you for building this world and introducing us to these incredible characters!

Summary
This is a reading the book's fic where Violet, Cat and Sloane are from the end of Onyx Storm however everyone else is either from the moment after they died or the very start of Fourth Wing.I thought doing it this way might add a bit more drama rather than having hem all from the same time.
