Summary
Alex Tavis never wanted to go to Basgiath. She never wanted to be a rider. She came because she had no other choice.
With a last name that turns heads, a rebellion relic on her arm, and her best friend at her side, she takes on challenges she never asked for.
The biggest one? Not surviving long enough to bond a dragon. Not keeping rebellion secrets buried.
It’s Xaden Riorson.And the fact that he’s her brother’s best friend? Definitely doesn’t help.
Slow burn. Like, painfully slow.
This is all about yearning.
Enemies-ish. Annoyance to lovers, if you will.
Tension sharp enough to cut. 10/10 will make you want to scream at me.WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR FOURTH WING, IRON FLAME AND MINOR ONYX STORM SPOILERS

Summary
Rheia Thorne survived her first year in the Riders Quadrant. Barely.
She doesn’t trust the professors, the rules, or the war they’re being trained for—and certainly not the leadership that placed Blake Morven in charge of Tail Section. Her squadmates think she’s just sharp-edged. Rheia knows better. She’s watching everything. Because the moment you stop questioning is the moment Basgiath kills you.
It’s Conscription Day. The first-years are already dying. And Rheia’s about to learn that the worst enemies aren’t always the ones in front of you.

Summary
Iron Flame from the fliers' POV:
Must be fucking nice. To hide behind wards, protected by the continent's dragons, for over six hundred years. All while we're left to fend off the horrors that Navarre is too weak, too cowardly to face.
Elyra Soryn has lost faith in the system—no that's not right, because she never had any faith in it to begin with. No, she's never had faith in the system that let her family burn, that lets orphans go hungry in the streets, that stands by and watches the world crumble from ivory towers.
So when she's planted in Aretia after the fall of Zolya, she has no qualms about doing exactly what she needs to do to make sure the people she cares about make it out alive.
But Bodhi Durran is watching her. Tracking her every move like the insufferable nuisance that he is. And she knows what he’s doing, the way he tries to slip past her armor with easy smiles and the kind of nonchalance that only noble blood can buy.
Let him try.
Because she’s done being a pawn in anyone’s game. And if Durran thinks he can outmaneuver her?
Well, he’ll just have to learn the hard way, won't he?

Summary
This account was translated from Navarrian to the modern language by Jesinia Neilwart and Louise Melchior. All names have been preserved to honour the fallen. May their souls be commended to Malek.
The Bose family has served Navarre for generations. This makes them dangerous enemies, but excellent friends in court, and every member of the family will serve the Tauri’s in some way, your majesty. Just remember one thing - just because they are allied to Navarre, doesn’t mean they will be allied to you.
- excerpt from a letter to King Tauri the Wise from an anonymous advisorUma Bose didn’t want to be here. She was supposed to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps, and be an advisor to the king.
But the health of the man who raised her is rapidly deteriorating. He only has a few years left. With the responsibility of providing a stable life to two much-younger siblings thrust upon her, she joined the riders quadrant, thinking of it as the only way to provide stability to her family.
But she catches sight of the same odd-looking knives that her grandfather hid in a jewellery box, and is swept up in a story she never thought was real.

Summary
“You watched me spend hours in the library researching where they could've gone, am I correct? You watched me lose sleep just to find out where he is, am I correct? You watched me beg every single scribe just to give me a tinnie, a tiny hint for information.” Then I stride towards him, lean down, and stare at those amber eyes I despised ever since I stepped foot in this room. “You lied and lied every time I asked, 'Do you know where he is? ' You lied every. Single. Fucking. Day. And yet you dare to ask me to say something.”

Summary
After the Calldyr Executions, Elise Riorson, the daughter of Fen Riorson, is kept in the city to be fostered by King Tauri himself. She spends the next five years as the royal family’s whipping girl, a hostage in all but name, while secretly training for Riders Quadrant with Cam’s help.
The night before she leaves for Basgiath, Halden comes to her with a cruel offer, claiming it was her brother who killed Alic during Threshing two years ago: If she dies on Conscription Day, he and his father will consider the score settled and spare Xaden’s life.
It’s simple enough, right? All she has to do is to jump off the parapet, and Xaden will be safe. Except he is waiting for her on the wrong side of the parapet, and even though he can’t interfere with what happens on that death trap of a bridge, Liam Mairi can.

Summary
Quick addendum: This fanfic was imagined and written before the release of Onyx Storm. Some characters (especially the Crown Prince of Navarre) might differ from canon, a little magic might happen, and a few creative liberties were definitely taken. But Bodhi is still the best. 😇
At seventeen, Elysande embraces her role as a spy for the revolution, using her position at court and her impending betrothal to Prince Halden to gather secrets.

Summary
Dain searches for answers regarding his birth, hidden from him in plain sight. He wants know what he is, how he can help, and why Sloane smells so fucking good—and probably tastes it too.
Takes place after Onyx Storm and is not meant to be 100% accurate. A fun read about magic, with a slow burning romance, political turmoil, and war afoot!
OR-
I write a spinoff following Dain and Cath post OS.
Enjoy theory, magic, and lust and love! Just something to read!

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
It's a truth Sloane had known or at least guessed at, but the weight of it actually coming from his mouth nearly knocks her senseless. It occurs to her in a moment of panic that they're still young, at war, that her family is dead, half the people she knows are dead, that their existence right now still consists mostly of staying off the daily death roll, but it's her mother's voice she hears in her head, saying - that's all the more reason to love him now, isn't it?

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. Everyone already knows what Ridoc Gamlyn was doing.
But what about Sloane?
Well. Between carrying the weight of killing General Sorrengail, fearing her own signet more than the venin, and trying to remember what it feels like to hold onto something without losing it, she’s barely keeping herself together.
Not to mention:
✔ Her dragon is acting buddy-buddy with the worst-breathed dragon in the Empyrean.
✔ Secrets are coming out left, right, and centre—and not a single one of them is good.
✔ She only has a week left to win her bet with Aaric: that Ridoc will, somehow, manage to pull Violet's big brother.
✔ And worst of all? She can't decide if she wants Dain Aetos dead, humbled, or pressed up against a wall.Series
