Summary
Kirra Leinster is a 35-year-old disabled woman--whoops, scratch thatKirra Leinster is a 20-year-old woman with fifteen bonus years of life experience and a very particular book series still fresh in her head, when she finds herself at Basgiath War College - only a few steps away from taking the parapet into the Riders' Quadrant.
Surviving Basgiath means preserving the timeline, but an entire year's head-start on the revolution might be exactly what they need to get the happy ending Kirra wants for everyone. Messing with things might endanger her own survival, but if the wrong people find out the truth about her, she's as good as dead anyway.
It's a delicate balancing act more dangerous than parapet - and there's plenty of people who can't wait to see her fall.

Summary
The last time the venin were driven back, the common histories named six riders. Older texts claim otherwise, that the gods themselves converged as one through mortal flesh and turned the tide by their own hand. Let us pray such power is never needed again, for if the gods must walk among us, ruin will come for us all.
Fragment recovered from pre-Unification Tyrrish records, author unknownViolet Sorrengail Riorson's personal addendum to the Book of Brennan
Not that he fucking deserves to be the author of this book. The traitor. It turns out queening is not all it’s cracked up to be. Xaden is cured. Unfortunately, we are now gods.
I would like to know what kind of sick humour this is. Apparently surviving war, betrayal, crowns, venin, and my husband’s dramatic nonsense was not enough. No, now I have a kingdom to hold together, an empire to help reclaim, a sister ready to knife anyone who looks at her unborn child like a constitutional solution, and a continent still determined to catch fire around me.So, in summary:
Xaden is alive.
The gods are assholes.
Brennan is a traitorous bastard.
And if ruin is coming for us all, it’s going to have to get in line.Series

Summary
She was raised within sky-reaching stone walls—among guards, soldiers, and sharp-tongued politicians—and learned the rhythms of court as easily as any dance. Aeryn Tauri was loved. By her family. By a kingdom that never intended to crown her.
Princess of Navarre, she has always sensed something beneath that devotion—an unspoken truth she couldn’t name.
So when she enters the Riders Quadrant, the deadliest path at Basgiath War College, it isn’t for glory or ambition, but for duty, for power, and for the quiet understanding that the crown must remain where it has always belonged.
She expects hardship. Blood. Survival.
What she doesn’t expect is for everything she knows to begin unraveling.
In the Riders Quadrant, lies cut deeper than blades, trust fractures easily, and power is never what it seems. Aeryn is about to learn that fate isn’t something you follow—
it’s something that can break. Or be broken.
And when it does, everything will change.

Summary
Xaden Riorson is hockey’s most dangerous weapon. Trapped on a losing team with a ruthless owner (Rex Tauri) and a tyrant of a coach (Augustus Melgren) who control every move he and his teammates make, Xaden is counting down the days until he can break free.
Violet Sorrengail has just claimed everything she’s ever worked for. She's the newest principal dancer at Navarre Ballet Theater, she was cast in her dream role, and just landed a career-defining brand deal that could launch her into another stratosphere entirely.
There’s just one catch.
Her campaign partner is Xaden Riorson - the broody, arrogant athlete who clearly doesn’t want to be there… or anywhere near her.
But when an out of context photo goes viral, a fake relationship becomes the perfect power play. It should be simple: a few staged photos, a couple of public appearances, a strictly professional and mutually beneficial arrangement. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Summary
Violet Daxton never expected a lot of what life handed to her. She never expected to lose her dad in a tragic car accident. She never expected her absent mother to take over guardianship. She never expected to transfer to a fancy boarding school, away from all of her friends her senior year of high school. And she never expected that she would be at the center of a secret school society and a murder plot.
She is, though, and now she has to deal with it, and if that means getting involved with the mysterious, handsome history professor Xaden Riorson in order to solve this mystery, then so be it.
But Violet's relationship with Xaden crosses more lines everyday they're together, and the closer they draw together, the worse their circumstances- and chance of survival- become.

Summary
The future is supposed to be predictable.
At least, that’s what the kingdom of Navarre believes under the watchful gaze of General Melgren, whose dragon-gifted foresight has guided the kingdom through decades of war.
But there is one future he cannot see.
Aurelia Raelith.
On Conscription Day at Basgiath War College, Aurelia intends to become a rider and nothing more. Survive the parapet. Bond a dragon. Rise through the ranks. Simple.
Except nothing about her life stays simple.
Her childhood friend, Violet Sorrengail, arrives dressed in rider black instead of scribe robes. The rebellion leader’s son, Xaden Riorson, seems to know far more than he should. And Aurelia’s own signet—dark, dangerous, and unlike anything the Riders Quadrant has seen—marks her as something the kingdom was never meant to have.
A variable.
As secrets unravel within the walls of Basgiath and war brews beyond Navarre’s borders, Aurelia finds herself caught between loyalty, rebellion, and the terrifying truth behind her kingdom.
Because sometimes the most dangerous weapon in a war…
is the future no one can see.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail risked everything to uncover the hidden truth of Navarre after finding her father's letter. After the horrors of Resson, she enters her second year in the Rider's Quadrant with one major goal in mind: survival.
It's a good thing that Violet has a plan for everything, from deciphering her father's final message and researching the wards, to negotiating for a luminary and keeping all of her friends from being killed in her spare time. Not to mention coping with a long-distance relationship and a stubborn first-year blaming her for her very-alive brother's death. Unfortunately, running landings are the least of her concerns.
Sequel to "the life of spies is to know, not to be known" following the events of Iron Flame.

Summary
I’m a master of pain,
and Andarna’s loss is the deepest I’ve ever had to mask in order to survive.I am the master of pain, and the loss of all my loved ones has cost me everything.
Including my sanity. Especially that.
Violet Sorrengail was meant to die.
She knew it. She had made her peace with it. One life for thousands. One final surge of lightning to end the venin and their corruption forever. The cost was supposed to be simple.
However, Violet, being the stubborn ass girl she is, defied all odds against Malek and lived.
Her sacrifice cured all the venin; brought back those who were killed to walk the face of the Continent once again.
Including Xaden Riorson. Duke of Tyrrendor, shadow wielder, but most importantly...her husband.
But, was it really worth it? Or is there more to the story than what meets the eye?

Summary
Xaden Riorson is being eaten alive by the nightmares he hides, and Violet Sorrengail is running from the ones that nearly destroyed her — but when their worlds collide, the fire between them might save them both… or burn them to ash.
Aretia is a city on the edge, and no one feels the strain more than Xaden Riorson — newly appointed Captain in Station Four, he's been running from his nightmares by running into fires. Across town Violet Sorrengail, AGH’s newest trauma nurse, is running from a past that she can't seem to escape.
What begins as a single collision becomes impossible to ignore. Every shift, every call, every near‑miss pulls them closer, until the line between duty and desire blurs beyond recognition. And as Aretia grows more unstable, Xaden and Violet must decide whether the fire between them is worth the risk of being burned.
