Summary
Violet Sorrengail was 14 years old when her father, Asher, decided to bring her with him to Tyrrendor during a trip to end his most recent research. Going to Tyrrendor, they both stayed in the Duke's house, where she met four certainly interesting teenagers: Imogen Cardulo, Garrick Tavis, Bodhi Durran and Xaden Riorson — Duke Fen's only son.
Violet Sorrengail was 15 years old when the Rebellion happened — killing her brother in the process. Her father is more secretive than ever and says suspicious things every time they are alone.
Violet Sorrengail was 16 years old when her father died — but this might not be the truth after she finds a letter under her pillow the night after his funeral.
With the truth of the horrors outside of the wards now known, Violet must find a way to keep contact with her father and brother while training to join a Quadrant she never thought she would step into. And if she will be meeting old friends in the process, alongside a certain Riorson boy, good thing she will have allies.
Or, Violet finds out the truth much sooner, and becomes the biggest threat Navarre never saw coming.

Summary
Violet never thought she'd be spending her honeymoon single, but when she's left at the altar, it seems pointless to waste the vacation she had planned. She fully intends to pass the two week transatlantic cruise by cursing her ex and drinking enough pina coladas to make the drink package she bought worth the price. But then she meets Xaden Riorson after a particularly clumsy accident after dinner, and it isn't long before she finds new ways to enjoy her newfound singlehood. He's cocky. Arrogant. And most importantly: All-too-eager to take her mind off her break-up with far more pleasurable pursuits.

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.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail never asked to be part of a political game. As a first-year rider at Basgiath, she’d rather be training with Tairn and Andarna than playing dress-up for a so-called peace summit. But six years after Tyrrendor shattered Navarre’s rule, she’s forced to stand among the most powerful leaders of three nations—right across from Xaden Riorson. The prince of the rebellion, the boy she once knew, and the man who now looks at her like she’s his next battle. With dragons watching and kingdoms waiting, she has no choice but to play the game—because in a court where alliances are forged in fire and betrayal, the wrong move could cost her everything.

Summary
Xaden sighed as he walked through the gilded hallways of the palace. He hadn’t grown up surrounded by the golden columns, the jade green accents running along the ceiling and floor, and the paintings of the former monarchs of country, but he had grown to love the palace as it were his own in the past seven years of becoming acquainted with the sound of his shoes clicking on the tiles and the peace he felt when he stepped out into the public's eye when announcing something that would help the country. He had grown to adore the palace and the country as though it was his from the very beginning.
Of course, in due time it was supposed to be his own.
Instead, because of a goddamn, old, archaic law, he wanted to throw himself down the stairs, knock himself out or maybe even get amnesia just so he could forget about the whole…marry Catriona bit of the business on the way to becoming King of Tyrrendor.

The Empyrean: Fourth Wing (Xaden's POV) by alexa_raye
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Tags
Summary
Newly appointed to the rank of Wingleader, Xaden Riorson only has one goal for his third and final year at Basgiath: Get all the marked ones bonded and graduated so they might stand a fighting chance against the true evil lurking at Navarre’s borders. The only problem is that Violet Sorrengail, his enemy’s youngest daughter, has also joined the Rider’s Quadrant this year. He doesn’t know why she’s here, what her plans are, or if he can trust her. All he knows is that he can’t seem to stay away.
This is a rewrite of my previous fic “The Wingleader – Xaden’s POV”. It’s a Fourth Wing retelling from Xaden’s POV with new Iron Flame updates. It follows the dialogue and chapter timeline from Fourth Wing with my own interpretations and theories of Xaden’s actions and feelings.
Do not read if you haven’t finished both FW AND IF - major spoilers from BOTH books throughout!

Summary
Violet Sorrengail had a fantastic one night stand last month. The whole point of this one night stand had been to get Xaden Riorson out of her system. And she thought, maybe, she’d managed to succeed. So when she lets Liam set her up on a blind date with his foster brother, she isn’t expecting for this night to collide stunningly with that other night. But, naturally, it does.
