Summary
If you learn too much information, even your father will want to get rid of you. It is said that the Rider quadrant is the worst and deadliest. Well, Evie goes there with five years of training for the Healer quadrant and a determination to defy her father's expectations and survive. She will be independent and uncontrollable.
Her determination naturally catches the attention of Wingleader, who dislikes surprises and people whose next moves he can't predict.
Evie has already decided which side of the war she will be on, she does not yet have all the information and it is only a matter of time before she accidentally learns more things that can greatly affect her decision.

Summary
Imogen didn’t weep when her mother and sister burned for their part in the rebellion. She couldn’t afford to. The kingdom of Navarre had already decided her fate. Survival was a distant hope, a cruel joke in a world that wanted them dead.
Then Xaden Riorson made a deal.
In exchange for their lives, he would take their punishment and they, in turn, would be given one impossible chance: to enter the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. A battlefield disguised as a school, where their only path to survival is bonding with a dragon and fighting for a kingdom that despises them.
Imogen and Garrick—both orphaned and stripped of everything they know—are placed together in the new foster system, forming an unbreakable bond as they navigate a world that sees them as traitors’ children. Forced to rely on each other for survival, their relationship deepens from an alliance of necessity into something far more complex.

Summary
Clarissa Aetos was the perfect daughter.
Smart, graceful, well-mannered.
Everything a parent could have asked for.
But once the mask came down, the truth was far more dangerous than anyone had expected.On Conscription Day, the healer quadrant hadn't been the path she chose- or rather, not the one she had dared to walk because of a secret she had kept to herself for six years.
Now, on the other side of the parapet, Clarissa had to live under the weight of her father's reputation
and hoped her brother's achievements would be enough to keep her in the shadows.But fate had other plans:
an old friend turned target,
a brother whose power made him dangerous to trust,
and a man marked by injustice... who saw her behind the mask.[Garrick Tavis x OC]

Summary
Being Xaden Riorson’s sister means Anarys enters Basgiath with a reputation she never asked for and enemies she hasn’t even met yet. The War College demands strength, cunning, and a will to survive—but Anarys refuses to be defined by her brother’s rebellion.
Except Garrick Tavis won’t let her breathe without a fight. Her squadmate, her rival, her shadow in every spar and every strategy drill—he’s impossible to ignore, and even harder to forget. He challenges her every choice, pushes past every wall, and looks at her like he already knows how this ends.
Surviving her first year is hard enough without dangerous secrets, squad politics, and dragons circling overhead. But surviving Garrick Tavis might be the real war she’s fighting.
Enemies. Partners. Something more than either of them will admit—until it’s too late.

Summary
Today is Conscription Day. The day I finally reunite with my friends--if I can manage to cross the Parapet and join the Rider's Quadrant. I haven't seen Imogen in a year, and the others for even longer. It feels like walking into my worst nightmare. I'm forced to attend Basgiath and one day join the army that executed my family, all because they want to be liars. I don't know what the plan is, or how we're all going to survive. Will we stay together or go our separate ways? All I know is the moment I spot Xaden Riorson, I can no longer think straight.

Summary
Isadora Riorson arrives at Basgiath War College with a name that turns heads and a legacy that turns stomachs. As the twin of Xaden Riorson and daughter of Fen, the rebellion’s most infamous general, she’s a walking target. Trained to fight, built to endure, she’s ready for battle—just not the kind that festers in whispered threats and lingering stares.
Bonding with her dragon should be a triumph, but weeks pass with no signet. Then the pain begins—others’ wounds crawling under her skin, emotions that aren’t hers bleeding through. She doesn’t understand it, and when her body starts to falter under the weight, neither do those around her.
With only Bodhi, Garrick, and Xaden at her side, Isadora must fight not just for her life, but for her sense of self. Because pain can’t be ignored forever. And fire, no matter how carefully controlled, always burns.
Character-driven. Slow burn. Hurt/comfort. Dragon bonds. Twin loyalty. Pain empathy.

Summary
Prior to Xaden's third year, your relationship thrived. You became each other's comfort in the storm of Basgiath - until the General's daughter turned up in the Rider's Quadrant.
At first it was simple - then it wasn't. The minute she bonded Tairn, everything changed. Not sure if it was you that pulled away or the result of being pushed aside, you let the unworthiness fester. Then you took matters into your own hands, disappearing, just like your signet.
Little did you know, Xaden was torn. He didn't know how to balance it all and in trying to find the balance lost everything. He'll stop at nothing to get you back, to make you understand your worth - but, is he too late?

Summary
Bláithín (Blah-heen) Mairi should have been able to excel in the Rider's Quadrant. She should have been happy to join her brother and the other Marked Ones in the Quadrant, because even though it was supposed to be a death sentence; at least she would be with the people she cared about. But how was she supposed to survive when she had never been taught how to fight? And how could she navigate being in love with two of her friends, friends that she had not seen in six years?
Also, very obvious disclaimer. I do not own any characters that belong to Rebecca Yarros, any plots/scenes that seem like they came from the books, also belong to Rebecca Yarros.

Summary
Xaden Riorson has known Avari Solaris her entire life. With him learning to take over his father's kingdom, she was by his side through every moment learning to serve as his royal advisor. At least that's what it was before Navarre ruined it all. Separated for roughly four years, raises the question, have things changed between them? Probably not, but she can't help but worry maybe it has changed. Either way Conscription Day was going to bring answers, and the chance to finish what their parents died for.
Navarre should have known better than to have kept the Prince of Tyrrendor and the last Solaris apart, because as anyone who knew them could tell you. They would tear the world apart to reach each other's side.

Summary
Nyx
For six years, I’ve lived alone.
Never forgotten—never free.
Ghosts chase me. Memories hunt me.
Only the dark is safe.
But Basgiath is no place for ghosts—memories don’t stay buried.
And the bond I was forced to abandon?
The one I clung to when I had nothing left?
It refuses to stay silent.Xaden
She stands before us, scarred and silent.
Then she drops—without a whisper.
My shadows slip free before I can stop them.
Garrick’s control shatters.
And I know.
The Nyx I knew could never keep quiet.
But this Nyx? When she runs?
Silence.
Someone hurt our mate. Broke her.
And we will burn the world to make them answer for it.
