She crossed the Parapet with her eyes closed. No one knew her name. Not really. Not the riders, not the commandant. Not even the boy she once knew, who now leads the very quadrant she's been thrown into. Aeliana Sorynne is a survivor. Marked by magic, scarred by secrets, raised in the shadows of rebellion. Now, she enters Basgiath War College under a name no one remembers - carrying nothing but a rune, a memory, and the skills of someone who should've died years ago. Assigned to Fourth Wing, Tail Section, Second Squad, Aeliana must navigate brutal training, suspicious cadets, and the heavy eyes of dragons that seem to see more than they should. She's not here to be chosen. She's here to endure. But surviving is never that simple - not when her past walks the same halls, not when dragons are watching, and not when trust could mean everything... or cost her everything.

"Your brother will not be pleased." "When is he ever?" Evalyn Riorson never lived in the shadows of her brother's presence. She had always been his equal. He had always been her shield. But when love is tested and the truth is revealed, she finds that much more waits beyond the war she had been born into.

She was never meant to ride. He was never meant to fight. But war leaves little room for choice. Betrothed at fifteen to the cruel prince Alic Tauri, Emiana Melgren knew her fate was sealed. That is, until Alic died at Basgiath, leaving her father- the king's most trusted general- with a daughter he had no use for. Now, forced into the Riders Quadrant with not nearly enough training, Emiana has only one goal: survive. But survival becomes infinitely harder when she discovers that Prince Camlaen Tuari, Alic's brother, has abandoned the castle for Basgiath; taking on the name of Aaric Graycastle to remain hidden. Cam saw Emiana's suffering years ago and did nothing. And now, she has no reason to trust him- especially when he keeps watching her like she's a ghost of his past mistakes. Yet Emiana's greatest threat isn't Cam, it's everyone else. As the daughter of General Melgren, the man responsible for the deaths of nearly every marked rider's parents, she is now the most hated name in the quadrant. Enemies lurk in every corner, waiting for their chance to kill her, to make her suffer as their families did. But Emiana has spent her life surviving, and she won't stop now. As ancient enemies stir and hidden secrets rise, Emiana and Cam are tied together by forces beyond their control. Because their dragons are bound. Their fates are entwined. And the truth buried in her past may be the kingdom's salvation- or its ruin.

Every year, swaths of 20-year-olds descend upon a college campus. Unfortunately, this college specializes in war, in consideration of the one raging at its borders. Outposts and enemies line the eastern mountains, guarded by many from the army, but most notably, the Dragon Riders. Zilphyer's future was determined long before she was born. As far as she was concerned, none of that destiny included Basgiath; not after she watched her grandfather descend into mad ramblings from his battles after bonding a dragon, then fell to the whims of a power-hungry Colonel who would do anything to hurt her. The quadrant destroyed the good and empowered the bad, and she wanted nothing to do with it, no matter what her name spelled. Xaden Riorson's future was clear, no Basgiath or dragons in sight. That was, until he was 16, when his father's apostasy-turned-secession fell apart; his home was burned; and his father went missing, only to be reported by someone he thought was an ally, then murdered. Unfortunately for both of them, Basgiath wouldn't let them off so easily. Xaden had a two year head start and became a Wingleader, ready-and willing-to sacrifice anything to fulfill his goals. Some may call them selfish and many call him ruthless, but he's no stranger to prescribed titles. Zilphyer stood before the bridge, but she had no intention of making it across. Her ruined future and unstable life would be given to a cause much more worthy than the torture of Basgiath: her mother, her father, and her patron: Zihnal, the God of Chaos.

Daphne has a secret. A secret worth killing her for. Leaving her old life behind she runs away from home to become a dragon rider at Basgiath. No one can know who she is. No one could have prepared her for what awaits her at Basgiath: the challenges and surely not a pair of onyx eyes. Staying in the shadows becomes nearly impossible with a certain dragon rider trying to bore himself into her life. A dragon rider that might kill her if he figures out who she really is.

In the hallowed halls of Basgiath War College, where dragon riders are forged, a new cadet emerges: Seraphina Draven. With a fiery temper and unparalleled combat skills, Seraphina is determined to carve her own path, even as whispers of her parents' roles in the Tyrrish Rebellion echo through the corridors. As a first-year student alongside Violet Sorrengail, Seraphina must navigate the treacherous dynamics of the college, all while concealing her deep connection to Xaden Riorson, the enigmatic leader of the marked ones. Bound by a shared past and a love that defies the scars of their lineage, Seraphina and Xaden face challenges that threaten not only their bond but the very fabric of their world. --- Posting schedule : randomly through the week beacause I'm on my summer break!
