Summary
The heat is on full blast for Xaden and Violet when they meet at a fundraiser, unable to keep their eyes off each other. He’s a firefighter. She’s a journalist. And their pull? It’s undeniable. Throw in an ice bath that Xaden just can’t help but join her in, and the flames are fanned, the burn between them inevitable.
But family names and buried secrets might just put out the fire before it can even begin to take hold…

Summary
They were children when they first met—two heirs from opposing worlds who were never meant to be friends, let alone fall in love. But Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson were reckless enough to believe they could defy bloodlines, rebellion, and fate itself.
Then Fen Riorson declared the rebellion. Families burned, trust shattered, and Violet was forced to watch the boy she loved become the enemy her mother swore to destroy.
Years later, the Riders Quadrant brings them face-to-face once more. He is shadows, scarred and dangerous. She is lightning, unbroken but still haunted. Between them lies betrayal, memory, and a truth darker than rebellion.
Dragons never forget—and neither do hearts.

Summary
Violet’s life is quiet, safe, and painfully unseen. With a soft voice and neutral opinions, she conforms to a world of beige. Struggling with her own feelings, she fights to carry the Sorrengail name in her own way. Raised in a world that sought to protect rather than prepare her, Violet was never hardened by cruelty or sharpened by survival. But when her path takes a drastic turn, she is thrust into a future that will test not only her strength, but her sense of self.
Xaden was seventeen when Tyrrendor claimed its independence. Raised by his father in a world where war was always looming, he was shaped to lead and trained to fight. Determined to become the next leader, he carries the Riorson name with pride and honor. Where Violet was sheltered, Xaden was hardened—not by exile or loss, but by responsibility placed too heavily on young shoulders. He learned that love is a liability, control is survival, and hesitation costs lives. But when faith disrupts the life he’s built, the greatest threat to his control may not be war.
Two lives shaped by opposite forces. One forged by war. One sheltered from it. And yet—both must learn that who they were raised to be may not be who they are meant to become.

Summary
Two years after her father’s death, Violet Sorrengail enters the Riders Quadrant with more knowledge than she should have, far less training than she needs, and a locked journal full of secrets she can barely begin to understand. Fresh off a breakup with the heir to Navarre, she isn’t looking for complications, but nothing prepares her for Xaden Riorson, or the dangerous ease they fall into with each other.
When her power manifests early and pulls her into Xaden’s dreams, Violet sees something she was never meant to: a wardstone, forbidden runes, and proof that her father’s work may be closer, and more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Or: Violet manifests her dream-walking signet early, walks into one of Xaden’s dreams, and makes everyone’s lives significantly more complicated.
