The Dragon Princess and Her Unwilling Knight by FoldedPagesxo

12 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Princess Ayla has lived her entire life behind palace walls, protected by protocol and propriety. But when assassins strike at a royal banquet, her beloved guard dies in her arms, and everything changes.
The tournament to choose her new protector draws hundreds of Navarre’s finest warriors. None expect the masked victor to be Xaden Riorson—son of a executed traitor, marked as dangerous, and everything a princess should fear.
He kneels before her with blood on his mouth and shadows at his back. He swears an oath with rebellion in his voice. And when their eyes meet, Ayla realizes the greatest threat isn’t the enemies hunting her.
It’s the way she can’t look away from the most dangerous man in the kingdom.

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
Xaden is three years older than Violet in this AU, so they did not cross paths at Basgiath.
But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t keep an eye on the rider that his life hinges upon.Making everyone believe he is a loyal officer in Navarre’s rank proves to be easier than understanding the woman he thought was just a miniature version of her mother that he loathes so much.
Violet has done what she must during her years in Basgiath to survive, and from the outside looking in she is the most loyal weapon Navarre could have ever hoped for.
Apart they are deadly, but together they are a force to be reckoned with.

Summary
Wyvern Invasion/Dystopian World | Canon Divergent | Violet x Xaden | Violet x Dain.
In a realm teetering on the brink of ruin, where Wyverns scorch the sky and Venin lurk in every shadow, Violet Sorrengail finds herself caught between duty, desire, and a devastating choice. With Xaden, she has found a fierce love that defies every dark corner of their world—a love so powerful, it threatens to consume them both. But when Dain steps back into her life, bringing with him memories of a quieter past and promises of a safer future, Violet’s heart is torn in two.
As the wyverns close in, Violet must decide which path will bring her the strength to save her people—and herself. Will she choose the searing passion of Xaden, her unlikely and ardent protector? Or the steadiness of Dain, who offers a chance for peace amidst the chaos?

Summary
Set one year before the events of Fourth Wing, this is the first person perspective of a character ascending the Parapet at Basgiath with the intent of ending their life. If this story doesn't hurt you, I've failed.
Kane is an OC of unknown origin and traumatic past. The story follows his unwilling participation in the Riders Quadrant during an ordinary year at Basgiath. Though untrained, his life will continually be prolonged by music, luck, relationships, and shreds of hope. The longer he survives, the more he thrashes against the dissonance between his past and his developing worldview. Through his perspective we also follow his team, a deep and tight-knit aspiring Iron Squad; though we all know at least half of every squad inevitably fail the trials of Basgiath.
I've done my best to respect the canon of the Empyrean books wherever possible, and have 'fixed' some plot inconsistences/open questions. Some contrivances were invented to fit the narrative.

Blood.

"I know you don't want to --"
"You think I don’t want to?” His tone, cold as ice, sends a shiver down my spine, and he assumes such a predatory stillness that my heart stutters. “You think I don’t fantasize about sinking my teeth into you every time I make you blush? Dream about the places your blood rushes every time I turn you on? I want to all the damn time, Violence,” he growls. "That's the problem."

Summary
Liam’s shadow, the spoiled daughter of a fallen Tyrrish house, the cadet branded Venin behind her back. Sloane Mairi was never meant to be anyone’s weapon. But her signet is rewriting the rules of war and pulling her into orbit with the one man she swore she’d never touch.
A Wingleader built from his father’s rules and his own fear of failure. Dain Aetos was shaped by obedience. But Sloane’s defiance cracks his armor, forcing him to question who he serves and what he truly wants.
As ancient secrets come to light and cast Dain and Sloane as the centerpieces of the chessboard, a complicated bond coils between them. Not dragon-forged. Something worse. Because obsession doesn’t make good soldiers. And sharp-tongued girls don’t make good secrets.
