Summary
She was meant to pick his bride - not become her.
Jude has spent years building her reputation in a world that treats mortals like dirt beneath its golden shoes. As a strategist, as a tactician, as the daughter of Madoc, she thought she could control this ceremony, bend it to her purpose, and choose a queen who would keep the fae courts fragile and divided.
But High King Cardan, ever unpredictable, upends it all when he names her as his queen in front of the entire realm. Trapped in a crown of thorns and silks, Jude must survive the court that wants her gone, a king she doesn’t trust, and a game she can no longer control.
She was supposed to sabotage this marriage from the outside. Now she has no choice but to survive it from the inside.

Summary
At a lavish masquerade hosted at the Riorson House Estate, Xaden Riorson, a poised and duty-bound young man, is swept into an electrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger.
Beneath their masks, they share a fleeting, intimate connection—a dance, a touch—that leaves Xaden longing for more. Torn between his growing desire for the stranger and the heavy expectations of his position as sole heir to the Kingdom of Tyrrendor, he’s pulled back into the world he knows, unable to pursue the freedom he secretly craves.
Haunted by the warmth of the stranger’s touch, Xaden wonders what might have been had he taken a risk and defied the destiny his bloodline has written for him. The memory of that brief encounter lingers, a painful reminder of a life he could never have. As he struggles with the weight of duty, Xaden is left to question the cost of his choices and whether he will ever be able to let go of the haunting possibility of a life unlived.
Now, he must face the devastating truth: some moments, once lost, are impossible to reclaim—Or so he thought.

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. But what about Ridoc?
Well. Between dodging wyvern fire, nearly freezing himself solid, and watching his squadmates make increasingly questionable decisions, he’s about one bad landing away from a full-blown crisis.
Not to mention:
✔ His dragon won’t stop roasting him (literally and figuratively).
✔ His best friend is missing, probably doing something reckless.
✔ The resident war criminal is probably evil now.
✔ His Wingleader and Sloane are too busy pretending they don’t have unresolved tension.
✔ And worst of all? Brennan Sorrengail is hot. Like, inconveniently hot.Series

Summary
A slow-burn rewrite starting at Chapter 21 of TWK (Taryn and Locke's wedding) and the events that follow.
Jude doesn't command Cardan and Madoc doesn't find out. Instead, Jude and Cardan end up as "reluctant" wedding dates. Flirting and pining ensue.“None of the guards have caught my eye. Am I allowed to substitute a guard with an accomplished swordswoman and spy?” He is teasing me and I am lacking in both sleep and patience.
“I’m being serious, Cardan. Do not go to bed alone tonight.”
He tilts his head and raises his eyebrows, “Is that…” but I interrupt before he can finish the thought.
“Think of it as a sincere and urgent request."- Language:
