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:

NOW WITH A BRAND NEW COVER MADE BY THE WONDERFUL WHOKILLEDIVI If you asked most people about Ava Melgren you'd get the same answer. She's a spoilt brat that's unfortunately pretty good at what she does. And that's exactly how she wants to be seen. Exactly how she's carefully crafted herself to be perceived. It's how she has to continue to be perceived if she is to remain alive. Because she has a secret. A secret that could get her, and everyone she commands, killed. She's leading another rebellion. Or as she likes to call it: a revolution. Xaden Riorson's band of smugglers can pack it up because she's not messing around. Bodhi Durran x femOC

Elaris Elderwood was just another child of a rebellion leader. Her parents had died when she was only 14, meaning that leadership thought she wouldn't be a threat considering she was merely a child. But Elaris Elderwood was more than just a threat, her mind and knowledge alone had the capability to destroy the entire kingdom. So when she joins the quadrant and is reunited with the Marked Ones, she might fight to survive not only for herself, but to finish off what her parents started alongside no other than Xaden Riorson. But as sparks fly, bigger and hotter each day, can they really ignore their feelings for one another? Xaden Riorson x OC

OC Melgren X OC Riorson. Araxie Melgren has been raised to join the rider's quadrant, bond a dragon and serve Navarre like her father, General Augustine Melgren. Mistakes do not have a place in their household. Trained by her father, she does not know mercy and when she flatters, he swiftly reminds her of her leash. Kirean Riorson, the son of the great betrayer. He was meant to join the rider's quadrant long before the deal and fall of the rebellion, unlike his twin who wanted to pursue infantry like his father. He is unhinged and does not mind getting his hands dirty whenever necessary... Sometimes out of sheer enjoyment. Bond to a Blue daggertail, who is just as unhinged and a signet so rare that the pair put the leadership on edge. At Baisgath War College, nothing ever stays the same. Not people. Not alliances. Certainly not love.

Xaden shouts, casting his gaze out over the remaining cadets. "No? Excellent. Roughly half of you will be dead by this time next summer. A third of you again the year after that. And the same your last year." He briefly catches my gaze before moving on. "No one cares who your mommy or daddy is here." Unless your mommy or daddy sided with my father, then everyone cares. "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 Riders Quadrant? Untouchable? Elite?" This time no one cheers. "Because you're not untouchable or special to them." Xaden points a finger at the navy-blue dragon behind him and leans forward slightly, and says, deadly calm, "To them, you're just the prey."

I may not have had a choice in coming to the Riders Quadrant, but now that I'm here, the only way I'm leaving is on the back of a dragon.
