She was supposed to survive the war. Not become its next weapon. Rayne Velas thought she knew what it meant to be a Rider: obey command, bond your dragon, protect Navarre. But when an ancient seal beneath the sea shatters-and calls her by blood-Rayne is thrust into a war no one's prepared for. Not her commanders. Not her dragon. Not even her. Now, she's the only one who can read the sigils, break the seals, and stop the magic from unmaking everything the Riders swore to protect. But power this old doesn't come without a price. And when the seals begin to whisper of thrones, legacies, and a second soul born to balance hers, Rayne must decide who she's fighting for-and what she's willing to lose. One throne calls. One heart burns. And one Rider stands at the edge of something even the dragons fear.

"One shrill scream hit my ears and it sounded like the sounds our parents should have made. And I knew in that moment that she just died with our parents" Xaden Riorson x FEM!OC Updates Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday Started: 26 January 2025 Finished:

Aveline Sorrengail. The one some wished to be, and the one others never wanted to meet. Trained since childhood, bruised, beaten and bloodied, she always succeeded. Whether that was through strength, or pure anger, no one knew. She was meant to be a rider, and everyone knew it. To protect her dear sister wouldn't be much of obstacle right? Nor would the marked ones be much of an issue in the quadrant, no matter how much they hated her mother. She wasn't just going to remove any obstacles in her way. She was going to obliterate them. DISCLAIMER! I do not own fourth wing, or any of the characters written by the rightful author, Rebecca Yarros, only my own characters. This is just my adaptation of the story.

Haven Melgren, daughter of General Melgren, Also a scared 19 year old. Not even supposed to be old enough to attend Basgaith war college. Yet the great general couldn't let Sorrengail get another one into the college before him again. Haven grew accustomed to her father ways. Whether she liked it or not. She was just as manipulative, cruel, and selfish as him. She'll always resent him for making her that way but she'll never let go of his ways. Because deep down, she truly is her father's daughter.

Every year, hundreds die within the walls of Basgiath War College. It's no surprise that many are those who choose the Riders Quadrant. Dragons do not tolerate much, but neither do the ruthless gryphons on the outside of the wards. At least, that's what Basgiath teaches. (Y/N) has never prescribed to its lessons and doesn't intend to know, not with rising suspicions making every interaction spawn more paranoia. She must grapple with the knowledge that some people know things about her she really wishes they didn't. Worse, she knows they'll tell whoever closest to her if it ensures her destruction, especially now that her death will kill the son of the Great Betrayer. Xaden Riorson has been the proverbial thorn in the side of the kingdom of Navarre since his conception. Now that he's survived the Rider's Quadrant with the third most powerful dragon on the Continent, some are tuning into what might be the best way to strike him down. Unfortunately for him, he's not as stoic as he likes to think when a certain woman stands by his side. *SHE/HER* [Book 2 of 2]

Thana Valaren enters Basgiath War College with vengeance in her heart and death in her blood, the relics on her arm a constant reminder of all she's lost. Old friends. Deadly trials. Betrayal lingering in the shadows. Everyone has a legacy they're trying to live up to and even the son of the Great Betrayer will prove his legacy true. When Thana bonds with Valka-a formidable, battle-scarred dragon with secrets as deep as her own-she learns that some legacies are written in fire and blood, while others are carved from the choices she makes. As her Signet awakens and the weight of death coils around her, Thana must decide: will she wield her power, or will Basgiath consume what little humanity she has left?

When Skyla Whitlock, a renowned criminal, turns the age of 20, she is forced to join the Riders Quadrant. Just as did all the other children of the separatists did, as per the contract made by Xaden Riorson and General Lilith Sorrengail. She would make it her life's goal to see General Sorrengail, along with General Melgren, dead. However, that particular moment would have to wait. In the mean time, she needed to find Xaden. He would be a second year by the time she crossed the Parapet, and she would make it her mission to find Xaden and become his ally at Basgiath War College. She would give her life for his, as for he had done far more for her than she deserved. She would become as loyal to him as a dog to its owner. This book is a fan fiction of Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean series. It takes place one year before fourth wing, I plan to make books that follow the series. So there should be five more after this one, six in total. All characters and storyline belong to RY, besides Skyla Whitlock and some added characters that I made up due to when and where this book takes place. Please enjoy and feel free to criticize and critique my writing. The pictures on the cover are all from Pinterest, none are mine.
