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
“What the fuck, Malfoy?” Ron bellowed. “Stop kissing her.” He rounded on Hermione then, his face screwed up in outrage and confusion. “What did you do that for?”
Dazed, Hermione blinked at him, absently thinking he looked a bit like a gaping fish.
“Oh,” Malfoy smirked. “I do apologize. I spent the summer at our French Chateau and kissing is a customary greeting in France.” He didn’t look remotely repentant.
“I didn’t see you kissing anyone else like that,” Ron spat, still eyeing Hermione suspiciously.
“Hm?” Malfoy asked, distracted, looking at Hermione, his knuckles brushing her cheek.
Hermione felt hot all over.
OR
Draco returns from a summer in France with an insatiable thirst to French kiss Hermione (especially in front of one Ron Weasley).

Summary
Stevie Tate is bored of her life. Everyday is the same and she's over it.
She craves adventure and a fresh start.
And what better place to find those things than in the Rider's Quadrant at Basgiath War College.
But has she got more than she bargained for? As she makes friends, grows closer with a certain second year and discovers secrets she didn't even know she had, will it all be too much for her to handle?
***
Set during Xaden and Garrick's second year at Basgiath.
I wouldn't say you need to have read the Empyrean series to read this, but I will say that there could be potential spoilers for all three books, so read at your own risk.Everything owned by Rebecca Yarros, apart from any OCs :)

Summary
Xaden is regarded as an only child, a perception formed due to the widely accepted belief that his beloved sister, Ophelia, tragically 'died' amidst the chaos of the Rebellion. Unknown to them all Ophelia survived and has been so close this entire time. The architect behind this elaborate scheme is none other than General Melgren. The stern and strategic General has been stealthily overseeing her movements, training and ensuring her safety. The revelation of her existence is dramatically unveiled on the day of conscription, a day that will forever change the course of their lives.
