Summary
Eleanor “Len” Lennox was never meant to survive this long. But now that she has—she’s not sure who she is anymore.
The war has reached a breaking point. Navarre is crumbling from the inside out, tangled in bloodshed, backroom politics, and betrayals disguised as strategy. Len was forged for battle, trained to kill—but nothing prepared her for this kind of war. The kind where words are as sharp as blades, and allies might be enemies in disguise.
As time runs out, Len finds herself walking a path her mother once warned her about. The lines between hero and monster are blurring. The darkness inside her—once caged—is waking, hungering, changing her.
With Nox at her back, and Garrick at her side, Len is a weapon ready to be unleashed. But love is no longer her anchor—it’s her weak point. And in this war, weakness is fatal.
As gods reach down and monsters rise up, Len must choose who she’s willing to become to survive.
A savior? A destroyer? Or something far, far worse.
Because the phoenix doesn’t rise to save the world.
She rises to remake it.

Summary
Kyra Riorson, daughter of the executed rebellion leader Fen Riorson and younger sister to Xaden, was only fifteen when she watched her world burn—literally. Branded by magic as one of the 108 children of traitors, she is torn from her brother’s side and forced into the care of General Lilith Sorrengail.
In a brutal world where survival is earned with blood and trust is a weapon, Kyra’s mission is clear: stay alive, see Xaden again, bond a dragon, and—above all else—keep Violet Sorrengail breathing. But with war looming, secrets festering, and old loyalties threatening to tear apart the fragile peace Navarre has had, Kyra must walk the line between duty and rebellion, protector and traitor, sister and weapon.
Because the deadliest force in Navarre isn’t forged by war—but by love, loss, and the will to protect.

Summary
Born to heal. Forced to fight. Chosen twice. Feared by all.
Vaelyra Sorrengail was never meant to set foot in Basgiath War College.
Illegitimate daughter of General Melgren and the ruthless Lilith Sorrengail, she was raised in the shadows—trained to be a healer, not a rider. She learned to mend wounds and silence pain under a mother who offered no comfort, only control.
But war runs in her blood. And when she’s forced to enroll alongside her sister Violet—with orders to protect her—Vaelyra must reveal what she’s kept hidden: a mind forged for strategy, a body hardened by a year of brutal training, and scars even dragonfire couldn’t burn away.When she bonds not one but two powerful dragons—Tairn, the legend, and Khalzhar, the feared—she becomes something the college never expected: a weapon too dangerous to command.
With war looming and truths unraveling, Vaelyra makes a pact with rebel Xaden Riorson: he’ll protect Violet, and she’ll heal his people. But nothing comes without a cost.Trapped between two dragons, two men, and a past that won’t stay buried, Vaelyra will learn that being chosen twice isn’t power—it’s a sentence.

Summary
🐉Just a heads-up: This fanfic was crafted before the release of Onyx Storm. As a result, some events and characters may differ from the canon. The published chapters will remain unchanged, regardless of any new details from the book.
Aurora, the youngest of a once-powerful noble bloodline of Morraine, had always followed a carefully laid path—until the Riders Quadrant promised her freedom. The daughter of a rider father and a witch mother, she had always felt the weight of her heritage. At twenty, she left home for Basgiath, where dragons, politics, and rebellion collided.
With the King's son and the Marked Ones entering Basgiath, Aurora must navigate her family's ambitions, her bond with her dragon, and unexpected ties to Xaden Riorson and Alic Tauri.

Summary
There is no room for hope in her world—only strategy, survival, and a constant, bitter negotiation with fate. She’s not naive enough to think she can rewrite the ending she doesn't know. But maybe, just maybe, she can buy someone a few more pages. Maybe she can delay the worst.
Charlotte is not reckless—she is resigned. Her stillness is not peace, but exhaustion. Her coldness is not pride, but grief curdled into silence. She is a girl trying to hold herself together in a world she has already read fall apart, and the cracks are beginning to show—not in tears or outbursts, but in the quiet moments where she stands at the edge of a rooftop, practicing how not to fall.
And deep down, she wonders if staying alive this time is even the right thing to do.
OR
A girl from our universe is reborn into the Empyrean - only, she's the daughter of one of the first Lt.'s to speak up about Navarre's careless disregard of Tyrrendor and their people. She knows too much, yet too little. And she also doesn't know how this story is going to end.

Summary
“Oh gods—Violet, don’t move! I’ll get help! Stay right there, I’ll come back!”
Dain.
My mind twisted with shock. Not the soldier I knew from the books, a boy. Six years old. Desperate. Scared. My stomach turned, but my face didn’t flinch. I couldn’t move it.
I heard his footsteps pounding away. The rustle of leaves. The birds above my head, chirping like nothing was wrong. The wind brushing against my skin, small and fragile and wrong.
My thoughts spun wildly.
I was her.
I was Violet. -

Summary
She whispered to the darkness and sang to the sun.
—————————
If General Augustine Melgren was anything, it was unpredictable.
Nobody would have been surprised if he had stayed single forever. He had never shown interest in anything more than sex, but one day, word filtered back to King Tauri that his general had gotten married to a red-headed wisp of a girl from Tyrrendor.
The couple returned to the palace in Calldyr, only for the girl to fall pregnant shortly after.
Nobody expected the doting husband and father that emerged from the bitter, ice-cold man.
Most people thought he would be disappointed when the child was born a girl.
But everyone saw how much he adored her.
The small red-headed girl, who looked so much like her mother, had somehow managed to wrap the most powerful rider alive around her tiny fingers.
This is the story of Lyra Melgren.

Summary
Everyone expected Eleanor 'Len' Lennox to die at Resson. Len included.

The enemy is already at the gate. And Len has a target on her back—not just for wielding shadowfire, not just for bonding to Nox, but for refusing to die when she should have.

Summary
Responsibilities and expectations-those were her constants. The pleasant thoughts, the carefully curated image. She was the General's daughter, after all. She fit perfectly into the mold her father had carved out for her, every sharp edge sanded down to meet his standards. There was no room for failure; it was a weakness he wouldn't tolerate. And feelings? They were the enemy, a crack in the armor that could shatter everything.

Summary
My death triggered a series of events, the very first one being my resurrection. My bonds mourn me not knowing that I survived.
I decided to post this one because I'm in a Fourth Wing mood again. If you see some mix-ups between first and second person, that's because I'm editing it as I go so there may be some "you's" that I missed.Series

Summary
Maordrid never thought, she would one day migrate into any fictional story, much less The Empyrean Series where dragons flew and violence was previvalent. At least she wouldn't fight her way through Basgiath War College, but was her situation that much better? She wakes in the body of a dragon, confused and feeling like a newborn. The worst thing is, Sgaeyl and Tairn aren't mated and noone had seen her in quite some time. But Threshing comes closer every day and a certain traitor's son needs his blue Dagger-tail or everything might just go to shit. Can Maordrid save everyone from falling victim to the looming threath of the Venin with so many big changes to the world state?
