Summary
After surviving her first brutal year at Basgiath War College, Violet assumed the worst of her troubles were venin, lying to her friends, and Xaden fucking Riorson. But Basgiath isn’t done breaking her yet. Her trust is fractured. Her enemies are in power. Her superiors want her dead.
Then comes parapet—again.
As the new first-years begin to fall, two of them refuse to play by the rules. Kyle and Aline Acier aren’t just surviving—they’re dismantling the system from the inside. With scars that hide darker pasts and power that shouldn’t exist, the Acier siblings crash into Violet’s already messy world and sink their teeth into Basgiath's hierarchy. Both are dangerous. Both are keeping secrets. And both are about to turn Basgiath inside out.
Now Violet isn’t just fighting for her life.
She’s fighting to decide who she can trust, who she can save…
…and who might break her in ways no enemy ever could.
“You’re going to get yourself killed,” I murmur.
“Then you can mourn me,” he mutters. “But I need you to live today to do that.”

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.

- The chaos that is keeping secrets in a place like Basgiath.
- The quiet boy in her squad who's obviously hiding something from everyone, and

Summary
A Fourth Wing Fanfiction | Xaden Riorson x OC | Fourth Wing & Iron Flame Spoilers
Lila Morgan didn’t expect to wake up after she jumped. She definitely didn’t expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing—the book that once kept her alive through her darkest nights.
But this isn’t a dream. It’s not fiction. And surviving here takes more than knowing what’s “supposed” to happen.
Now living as Liora Emberveil, she convinces herself this is a second chance. A chance to be braver. Stronger. Someone worth something. She becomes the version of herself she always wished she could be. But no matter how far she runs, she can’t outrun what’s inside her.
Because the truth is, Lila didn’t come here healed—she came broken.
Anxious, self-destructive, and lost in a world she no longer controls, Liora fights to hold onto the mask she’s built. But as her decisions begin to shift the future—and as the guarded, infuriatingly observant Xaden Riorson starts to see through her—she’s forced to ask the one question she’s never faced:
If you’re not who you were, and you’re not who you pretend to be... then who are you?

Summary
Surviving the Riders Quadrant is hard enough, but surviving it while keeping a massive secret? That’s just plain reckless.
Nyx Greycastle—well, that’s the name she’s using—has spent her life surrounded by dragons, but pretending to be just another first-year cadet at Basgiath War College is proving more difficult than she expected. Between sadistic instructors, bloodthirsty rivals, and an annoyingly handsome wingleader who keeps looking at her like he knows something, staying under the radar is impossible.
Oh, and there’s also the minor issue of not dying before Threshing.
With secrets, enemies, and an ever-growing number of dumb decisions piling up, Nyx is in for the deadliest three years of her life. But if she wants to claim a dragon—and live long enough to turn the tide of a secret war—she’ll have to prove she’s more than just a name.
Because in the Riders Quadrant, survival isn’t guaranteed.
It’s earned.

“Um isn’t Mairi a higher rank?” Someone asks.
“Oh yeah, but I follow her.” Liam nods.
“He’ll give his orders when he needs to. don’t let his pretty face fool you,” Isela says shaking her head and placing a hand teasingly under his chin. “His instincts and reflexes aren’t even human. And He’s good for reconnaissance even without his signet. I follow him.”

Summary
“I always wanted to be a rider, Even before,” Liam said ahead of her, ignoring the interruption of their squad mates as they continued down the path between the large dragons. “I would have done it anyways.”
“Figures,” Isela said with a huff. “I’m not surprised since you’re so good at it. No offense to any Dragons listening, but I didn’t. I always left the fighting to Xaden and Bodhi.”
“So what did you want to be?” Liam asked.
“Before it all, I was trying to decide between a scribe or a healer.” Isela said with a wistful sigh. Despite the dragons judging her on both sides. “But then I met Violet. She was already deep into training to be a scribe by the time I got there. And while I was doing drills in the courtyard she’d practice transcribing or reading a tome. I learned a lot about the scribes from her. And honestly I wished I was her.”
