    Summary

    After a failed rebellion, Elaine loses everything. Claimed by the royal family that executed her father, betrayed by her brother, and branded with a rebellion relic, she becomes the price of a bargain she never agreed to. But as dragons stir and forgotten magic awakens, Navarre will learn that some prisoners are far more dangerous than they appear.

    Summary

    Princess Ayla has lived her entire life behind palace walls, protected by protocol and propriety. But when assassins strike at a royal banquet, her beloved guard dies in her arms, and everything changes.

    The tournament to choose her new protector draws hundreds of Navarre’s finest warriors. None expect the masked victor to be Xaden Riorson—son of a executed traitor, marked as dangerous, and everything a princess should fear.

    He kneels before her with blood on his mouth and shadows at his back. He swears an oath with rebellion in his voice. And when their eyes meet, Ayla realizes the greatest threat isn’t the enemies hunting her.

    It’s the way she can’t look away from the most dangerous man in the kingdom.

    Summary

    It’s been a long time coming… welcome to Embercrown 🔥

    This fic takes place after the events of Firebound and is the fourth book/part of the We Burn series. If you haven’t read the previous books yet, this is your sign to go do that first because we are officially entering the “everything is on fire and getting emotionally catastrophic” stage of the story 😌

    The secrets are out. The crown is heavier than ever. The war is no longer a distant threat sitting at the edge of the map. And Aelin Tauri? Well… she’s getting very tired of people underestimating her.

    Expect political chaos, dragons, fractured loyalties, dragons, deadly decisions, dragons, family drama, dragons, emotional damage, dragons, and enough tension to make Basgiath look stable for once. Oh, and dragons.

    Also, fair warning: Embercrown comes in sharp. This book has been living in my brain like a haunting for months, and I’m so excited to finally share it with all of you.

    So welcome back, cadets.

    The world is burning.
    Let’s make it worse. 🖤

    Summary

    “Did you seriously just cross the parapet barefoot?”

    Lily forces her head up. A woman with pink hair is staring at her with a look that is equal parts astonishment and mockery. She sits at a small table, and next to her is a fair-haired woman with big curls. The woman runs her hand through her short hair and casts a raised-eyebrow glance at the fair-haired woman beside her.

    “Oh, brilliant. I’ve seen everything now.”
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rosalynn Tauri is dead. At least, that’s what she intends.
    As the forgotten princess of Navarra, Basgiath is the last place she should be—and exactly why it’s her only hope. Hidden behind a false name, a borrowed past, and a split lip, she fights to survive the Parapet. She’s not chasing honor or glory; she’s looking for somewhere to disappear.

    As “Lily Maddox,” her plan is simple: keep her head down, survive, and vanish on the back of a dragon. But the plan unravels when she’s pulled into the orbit of the marked riders. One in particular: Bodhi Durran. He’s persistent, annoyingly observant, and far too attractive.

    Vivienne Sorrengail has always known she was going to be a rider. Less expected is her soulmate secretly leading a revolution, the mystery of dark wielders, and how sassy her dragon is.
