Summary
“So you’re the one who gave me that scar.”
I stare, uncomprehending. “What?” I manage to bite out.
He lifts a hand, tapping his finger over the scar trailing from his ear to his collarbone, a match for the one I’d had clawed into me by a gryphon just like his. I bite down on my tongue as I think about the mirror of a burn long-since healed, that mars the skin of my torso. A scar that every man or woman I’ve ever taken to bed since has commented on. And he’s worried about a line on the side of his neck? My blood boils.

Summary
Alina Starkov doesn’t trust people.
It’s one of her rules, and by far the most important one; don’t trust anyone, especially not about what you can do.
She has grown up knowing about her powers and nurturing them until they became exceptional, learning about them from a rational and logical point of view, and she’s done it all on her own.
Some would call her selfish for refusing to fulfill her so-called ‘destiny’ as the Sun Summoner at banishing the Fold, but selfishness is another thing she’s very good at. She has no desire of being anyone’s savior as she knows the cost for it; her freedom.
But you can only outrun fate for so long.
Since the beginning of time it has been widely known that darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail hates Xaden Riorson. Xaden Riorson finds Violet Sorrengail to be the most infuriating woman he's ever met. This much is accepted fact at the University of Basgiath. So imagine big, bad Xaden's surprise when he finds himself thrust into the role of watching out for Violet on an evening where she has decided that Fireball whiskey is her best friend. That wouldn't normally be a problem, except for that one-night stand both of them pretend never happened and how Xaden is secretly in love with her. No biggie.

Summary
Cold so sharp it burns forces my body into consciousness. I gasp and splutter as water clogs in my throat. Cruel hands pull me from the cot I had collapsed on after Nolan mended my hands. I must have fallen asleep. Or passed out. Each finger throbs. The bones are mended but the trauma feels ingrained into each cell. My thoughts are sluggish and my brain can’t catch up to what’s happening. I’m stuck in that chair again, feeling each bone snap, one by one.
*****
Violet and Xaden struggle to live with aftermath of Violets torture.

Summary
“Liam, please.”
It takes all my self-control not to climb onto the bed and fuck her right then and there. But it’s not about me right now. I’m here to help her deal with a dragon who, after over a century on this earth, somehow forgot to put up his mental shields before…doing whatever it is that mated dragons do.
So, here she is. Violet Sorrengail. In my bed. Half-naked.
And, here I am. Liam Mairi. Standing frozen at the foot of the bed. Excruciatingly clothed. Asking myself how the hell I got here.
—Or, what would’ve happened if Violet went to Liam instead of Xaden that night Tairn was woohoo-ing Sgaeyl.
