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
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
In her first year at Basgiath War College, Ivy Sorrengail went from a cadet raised to believe in justice, honor, and sacrifice for her country, to a rider prepared to commit treason to do what is right.
Now that she knows the truth her country tried to bury she has to tread a careful line between a pawn to Navarre's crown and a queen to a country that would rather see her executed for her mothers crimes, than lead it.
However, iron is forged from the hottest flames, and she would rather burn than let everyone she loves succumb to the true darkness that lurks in the shadows.

Treachery in Disguise- Bodhi Durran by AmIMentallyIll

Summary
If you asked most people about Ava Melgren you'd get the same answer. She's a spoilt brat that's unfortunately pretty good at what she does.
And that's exactly how she wants to be seen. Exactly how she's carefully crafted herself to be perceived. It's how she has to continue to be perceived if she is to remain alive.
Because she has a secret. A secret that could get her, and everyone she commands, killed. She's leading another rebellion. Or as she likes to call it: a revolution. Xaden Riorson's band of smugglers can pack it up because she's not messing around.

Summary
Six years after Tyrrendor’s successful defection from Navarre, the continent stood on the cusp of an uneasy alliance. Tyrrendor flourished, united under King Fen Riorson’s leadership. Poromiel thrived under the guidance of Queen Maraya Cordella, its military strength bolstered by advances in gryphon-mounted warfare. Navarre, led by the increasingly enigmatic King Tauri, struggled to maintain its veneer of dominance while hiding the truth about the Venin’s threat. Amidst this backdrop, the city of Calldyr in Navarre became the host for a historic leadership summit, its grandeur a thinly veiled attempt to project power.

Summary
“There’s no distance or circumstance that could ever kill my love for you, Remi Sorrengail. You’re it for me. You gave me your heart and I’m keeping it.” He leans in, so only I can hear his quiet words. “Why do you think they’ve given me those orders?” He asks. “They’re afraid of us—of what we’re capable of as a team—and so they should be.”
✨ 🐉
Remi Sorrengail’s life has been completely upended. The monsters that gave her nightmares as a child are real, her dead brother has been secretly alive this entire time and never once contacted her, and her partner has been lying about all of it. Oh and he’s also royalty.
Throw in a bunch of assassins, a psychotic vice-commandant and a war on the horizon, and she truly has her work cut out for her—and that’s not even taking into account matters of the heart.

Summary
“Kind of ironic really, when you think about it.” I let my attention slip to the side, locking eyes with Xaden. “A daughter of a general and the son of a separatist—perfect for each other.” I hold his gaze challengingly.
✨ 🗡️
Remi Sorrengail is the antithesis of her sister. Snarky, depressed and quick to anger, she’s a realist. She’s well aware she probably won’t be making it out of the Riders Quadrant alive and she’s made peace with that. There’s just one thing she’d like to do there before she goes…climb Xaden Riorson like a tree.

Summary
Everyone expected Eleanor 'Len' Lennox to die at Resson. Len included.
But against all odds, she survived. And now? War is coming—whispered in the halls of Basgiath, painted in blood on the battlefield, buried in the lies of the Revolution. Assassins stalk the shadows. The enemy is already at the gate. And Len has a target on her back—not just for wielding shadowfire, not just for bonding to Nox, but for refusing to die when she should have.
With Garrick and Xaden on the front lines, Len is missing half her family. But she’s got Bodhi at her side, a war to fight, people to kill, and secrets she cannot afford to let slip.
They used to call her the Viper. But she’s not just a snake with a lethal bite anymore.
She’s an inferno. And if leadership wants her dead?
She’ll burn them to the ground.

Summary
Vynessa Riorson has never been easy to contain. Wild, sharp-tongued, and reckless enough to keep even her squadmates on edge, she’s as dangerous as she is unpredictable, and she knows it. Basgiath will test her, but chaos has always been her favorite weapon.
Torn from her brother Xaden Riroson's side after their father’s death and thrust into the hands of General Sorren Vex, The Executionor, who shaped her into something sharp and merciless, Vynessa arrives at the war college determined to reclaim her independence and rebuild the bond that was stolen from her.
But freedom is complicated when her assigned protector is her brother’s best friend—the one man she should never want, yet can’t stop pushing, teasing, and flirting with at every turn. Between fractured loyalties, old scars, and a hunger for more than survival, Vynessa must decide if her wildness will keep her untouchable…or finally catch fire.

Summary
It was supposed to be one night. One. A fleeting moment of stress relief after a long, miserable series of events that felt like my life was crumbling into ash. Ridoc and I had made an agreement—no strings, no feelings, no repeats. But when the knock sounded on my door, I already knew who it was.
And sure enough, there he was, leaning against the doorframe with that stupid, cocky grin that made me want to kiss him *and* punch him at the same time. My eyes involuntarily drifted to the dragon tattoo on his neck, the one I might have traced once or twice before.

Summary
Lily O’Connell did not know belonging. She had never known what it meant to be part of a place — to exist among people and simply fit, like a missing piece of a puzzle finally found.
Lily O’Connell did not know how to feel. She could mimic emotion — smile, laugh, even cry when necessary — but none of it was real. The joy, the pain, the fear… all just shadows behind glass.
Lily O’Connell felt empty. A void lived where a heart should be, and no matter how much she gave or took, it never filled.
But Lily O’Connell read. She consumed books like a woman starved — devouring stories, breathing words, bleeding ink. Within the pages, she belonged. Within them, she felt. As if she’d been born not to live in the world,
but to lose herself in ones others had written._
All it took was a planned fall — deliberate, desperate. A bridge, a breath, a step. And then Lily O’Connell tumbled into the water... and into a world that wasn’t her own.
A world of dragons and war, of power and blood.
All she found was a name.
One scribbled in the margins of a diary that didn’t belong to her —

Summary
I, Aysel Bardin, failed Threshing.
Entering the Rider's Quadrant wasn't about glory—it was about holding onto the only scrap of family I had left. Obviously, when both of your parents are dead and your sister is on the front lines, the logical path is eighteen inches of stone and a two-hundred foot drop to certain death. I thrived. But three months, a hundred and forty-four dragons, and one godsforsaken valley later, I'm reminded of how this world actually works.
There's no choice but to do it again—politics, death, idiots, dragons—this time beside the children of the rebellion. They're as dangerous to the quadrant as it is to them, though they can't be deadly if they're on my squad. Codex is supposed to be clear about things like that.
But I miss a variable. One variable that somehow turns distance into loyalty, logic into want, control into chaos, and survival into a group project nobody asked for. After that, the math just stops working.
Codex says you can't kill your squadmate. Codex never took “falling for Xaden Riorson will ruin everything—including you” into account.

Summary
"You are either stupid or confident to have brought half of the quadrant and branded them traitors while still in school, Violet Sorrengail." A voice calls from behind Mira. The two sisters turn in tandem to watch Alevienne make her way across the clearing. Somewhere behind Violet, a sharp intake of air sounds.
It draws Alevienne's attention to the back, where a man who has been dead for 5 years stands in shock. Violet doesn't know who is more surprised to see the other. Her brother, or her sister-in-law.
"You'd better be dead again before I reach you, Brennan Sorrengail," her voice sounds eerily calm across the courtyard. Then the octave drops into something threatening, "Or you'll regret being alive."
Or: Alevienne Morraine is a storm in the making. Her greatest desire? Freedom. She finds it in Brennan. But then he dies. And Alevienne is stuck and drifting aimlessly, when he appears in front of her again, very much not dead. Safe to say he not only got his nose broken from Mira but a black eye and a mean punch to the stomach from his wife, Alevienne.
