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.

Summary
After rescuing Xaden from the Sage's clutches, Violet tries to keep his condition a secret. But as Xaden refuses to feed, the hunger begins to consume him. His eyes turn red and his behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and violent. They can't hide it much longer. There's only one solution.
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.

Summary
They were children once. When summer afternoons stretched endless, scraped knees marked their worst wounds, and Xaden Riorson carved her name into river stones. A time when the world held space for friendship and blooming love.
Some children inherit their parents’ eyes. Others inherit their wars.
Rebellion came. Execution orders followed. Loss tore them apart and flung them to opposite sides of a war they never chose.
War orphans don’t choose sides.
And now Astrea Ysoria knows how to mend broken bones, but not herself.
But fate hurls Astrea into the Riders Quadrant with the one person who knew her before everything broke. Every breath burns with betrayal. Every glance ignites something forbidden. And she learns some hungers devour you whole.
This is the story of wounds that refuse to heal. Of loving someone you’re supposed to destroy. Of discovering that the cruelest inheritance isn’t death—it’s surviving it.
In a world where dragons soar and loyalty bleeds, Astrea must choose between duty and desire, between the child she was and the weapon she has become.
Some loves are worth dying for. Others will kill you first.

Summary

Summary
It takes everything in me to form my next words. I manage it, although my voice is thin and brittle.
“Do you know who I am?”
I am Violet Sorrengail Riorson. Third-year cadet. Fourth Wing, flame section, second squad. Duchess of Tyrrendor. Lightning wielder. Dream-walker. Tairn and Andarna’s rider. Your wife.
Your murderer.
I would take any single one of those answers. Any flicker of recognition in his gaze, because gods, he is looking at me like he’s trying to place me. His expression is bewildered now, between me clinging to him and whatever Sgaeyl has said to him. I hold my breath and try not to fall to pieces.
After the longest moment of my life, he shakes his head.

Summary
Born to heal. Forced to fight. Chosen twice. Feared by all.
Vaelyra Sorrengail was never meant to set foot in Basgiath War College.
Illegitimate daughter of General Melgren and the ruthless Lilith Sorrengail, she was raised in the shadows, trained to be a healer, not a rider.
She learned to mend wounds and silence pain under a mother who offered no comfort, only control.
But war runs in her blood. And when she’s forced to enroll alongside her sister Violet — with orders to protect her — Vaelyra must reveal what she’s kept hidden: a mind forged for strategy, a body hardened by a year of brutal training, and scars even dragonfire couldn’t burn away.When she bonds not one but two powerful dragons — Tairn, the legend, and Khalzhar, the feared — she becomes something the college never expected: a weapon too dangerous to command.
With war looming and truths unraveling, Vaelyra makes a pact with rebel Xaden Riorson: he’ll protect Violet, and she’ll heal his people. But nothing comes without a cost.Trapped between two dragons, two men, and a past that won’t stay buried, Vaelyra will learn that being chosen twice isn’t power... It’s a sentence.

Summary
*
Aysel Bardin failed Threshing.
Entering the Rider's Quadrant wasn't ever about glory—it was about holding onto the only family she has left. With dead parents and her sister on the front lines, the only path open led straight to the parapet. But countless days, a hundred and forty-four dragons, and one godsforsaken valley later, she's reminded of a harsh truth: wanting anything beyond survival is asking too much.
There's no other choice but do it all again. Politics. Death. Dragons. This time she’ll do it next to the children of the rebellion—marked and dangerous. But, they're only deadly if they can kill you...and Codex states you can’t kill your squadmate, right?
The more time spent with Xaden Riorson, the deeper Aysel is pulled in. The lines between loyalty, survival, and want begin to blur, their bond growing into a force as dangerous as it is magnetic. And suddenly, that rule seems like utter nonsense.
Codex never took “falling for him will ruin everything—including you” into account.

Summary
"For once in your sorry miserable life you're wrong, Violet. My son, did not do what you accuse him of. He told me nothing. Those marked by their families' rebellion where never meant to leave Basgiath alive. Did you not think we knew of their movements. That we had them watched. But not by my son. Believe me, he was a disappointment. His loyalty to you was pitiful."
The bastard laughed.
"And in the end you cost him everything. He is dead and he is never coming back. How does your conscience live with that!"
What if Dain had never told his father what he saw in Violet's memory, but the events of Resson still played out the way it did - Liam, Soleil and others still died and they still believed that Dain was involved.
