Ella Tavis has always been a fighter-sharp-tongued, fearless, and unafraid to take on anyone, even Xaden Riorson her brothers best firend. Growing up, he teased her mercilessly, sparring with ease and laughing as she struggled. But their world shatters when General Sorrengail kills their parents, scattering them to separate foster homes. Years later, fate reunites them at Basgiath. Ella is ready to prove she's no longer a child to be mocked, and Xaden... well, Xaden is now a Wing Leader who thrives on control and challenges. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and the tension between them is undeniable. In a world of wings, fire, and danger, can enemies survive the heat of desire-or will it burn them both?

Ten years ago, Gracie Varlyn lost everything. On the night the rebellion fell, she was torn away from the four boys who had been her family-Xaden Riorson, Bodhi Durran, Garrick Tavis, and Liam Mairi. Separated by war and believed lost to one another forever, they each forged their own path through a broken world. Now, at nineteen, Gracie is forced into the deadly Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College, where dragons choose their riders and survival is never guaranteed. What she never expected was to come face to face with the four soulmates she'd spent a decade mourning. As ancient magic awakens and long-buried secrets come to light, the five discover that the bond connecting them is far older-and far more powerful-than anyone imagined. Together they must survive ruthless trials, deadly enemies, and a kingdom built on lies, all while fighting for a love that defies every rule. Because some bonds can never be broken . And some souls are always destined to find their way home.

The Rebellion's Daughter Everyone knows Azara Tauri. The rebellion leader's daughter. The crown prince's wife. The mother of the future heir. What they do not know is that at fifteen, she married the enemy to save her kingdom. Now, years later, Azara enters Basgiath War College beside the husband she unexpectedly fell in love with-while the ghosts of betrayal, rebellion, and war follow her through every shadowed hallway. Because surviving dragons might be easier than surviving the truth.

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. - Article One, Section One, The Dragon Rider's Codex "Anyone else feel like changing their mind?" Xaden shouts, scanning the remaining rows of cadets with the same shrewd gaze of the navy-blue dragon behind him. "No? Excellent. Roughly half of you will be dead by this time next summer." The formation is silent except for a few untimely sobs from my left. "A third of you again the year after that, and the same your last year. No one cares who your mommy or daddy is here. Even King Tauri's second son died during his Threshing. So tell me again: Do you feel invincible now that you've made it into the Rider's Quadrant? Untouchable? Elite?" No one cheers. Another blast of heat rushes - this time directly at my face - and every muscle in my body clenches, preparing for incineration. But it's not flames... just steam, and it blows back Rhiannon's braid as the dragons finish their simultaneous exhale. The breeches on the first-year ahead of me darken, the color spreading down his legs. They want us scared. Mission accomplished. "Because you're not untouchable or special to them." Xaden points toward the navy dragon and leans forward slightly, like he's letting us in on a secret as we lock eyes. "To them, you're just the prey." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Who is that?" "Rhae Sorrengail, the forgotten daughter. She's Violet's twin, they're nothing alike though. Violet is the calm before a storm, and Rhae is the hurricane. The anger and stubbornness of that woman are insane." "God forbid she and Xaden stay in the same room for too long. Someone would likely end up dead." Started: June 5, 2025. Finished:
