𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘆, the infamous jokester of Gryffindor, is used to hiding his true self behind laughter. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮 𝗗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗲, sharp-witted and reserved, is the kind of girl who watches the world from the shadows, never quite letting it in. They never talk about it. They don't have to. It's in the way Fred softens when she's near, in the way Alethea's guard drops only for him. They're best friends, nothing more-at least, that's the lie they keep telling everyone. Especially themselves. But as war creeps into the walls of Hogwarts and everything safe begins to crumble, the lines between laughter and longing begin to blur. Can they truly remain just friends after all the moments and memories they've shared, even as they deny their feelings for each other? But can their actions really hide what their hearts refuse to admit? This book is a heart-aching story of friendship, feelings unspoken, and the war that forces them to choose-between what's easy, and what's real. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝟏𝟖+).

Illena Draekar had no idea why she applied to be a dragon rider. She had her reasons, of course. But her reasons were a secret, and Illena was so full of them that she didn't know anymore what was a secret and what was just a fact. She had a plan, that was a fact. But the plan itself was a secret. The war was getting worse, that was a fact, and was also a fact that Illena was the one to blame for that. Which war? That was a secret. Why she was the one to blame? Also a secret. Why she had so many secrets and so many facts? Well, that's a secret. But I'll give you a fact: she thinks it's time to fight. And what better place to begin than Basgiath? The marked ones were there. The dragons were there, the professors, the weapons, the lies, the reasons, they were all there. The only thing she did not expect to be there was love. But love was for children, and Garrick surely wasn't one. Illena may have fallen in love with him, anyway. But that was a secret as well. And also a fact. (This is a Fourth Wing fanfiction, the characters and the story belongs to Rebecca Yarros, only the main character, Illena, is original)

The Parapet, the Gauntlet, the dragons-they're all designed to cull the unworthy. And somehow, she endures. When a fierce green daggertail chooses her, Lydia thinks she might finally have a chance to carve out a future for herself. Until she realizes her dragon is bonded to Chradh, the mate of a second-year's powerful scorpiontail-binding her to Garrick Tavis, a soldier as unreadable as he is dangerous.
