Being marked is a curse. Being a Riorson? A death sentence. Verena Riorson-sister to Xaden Riorson, daughter of Fen Riorson, the kingdom's most hated traitor-wasn't raised, she was reforged. Life didn't just shove her down-it beat her bloody and taught her to crawl in silence. Mercy? That word died the day her father did. After the execution, she wasn't fostered with a kind family like the others. No, the kingdom handed her over to the Velmires-a family that worshipped loyalty and burned hatred into the bones of every Marked child they touched. They didn't just punish her for her bloodline. They broke her for it. Rebuilt her into a weapon so sharp, even the gods would flinch. She begged once. Covered in blood, trembling on her knees, she whispered for mercy. The Velmires taught her what a mistake that was. She never asked again. Now she wears her scars like armor. Each mark carved into her back is proof that she survived the kind of hell no one walked out of whole. And Xaden? Her beloved older brother? He never came. Never searched. Never cared. Not until it was too late. The little sister he remembered-the kind-hearted, bright-eyed girl who clung to his hand-is long dead. In her place stands something else. Something colder. Stronger. Unforgiving. She's done hiding the monster they created. Done pretending the fire inside her wasn't born to burn kingdoms down. Verena Riorson has come to remind them all why they should've killed her when they had the chance. And gods help the ones who ever thought they broke her-because now? She's the storm they'll never survive.

Tatiana Kleos has never had a normal life. From the moment she was born she was destined for greatness. Then everything came crashing down, her mother murdered, her father a traitor and the once glorious name Kleos reduced to nothing but a memory. Forced into the world's deadliest tra ining ground, Tatiana has no choice but to do what she does best excel. She must fight to join the army's elite, dragon riders. But she is trapped in a web of lies and secrets, deadly secrets. Many would kill her to better their own chances. Some would kill her if they ever discovered her secret. To add to it all she befriends Violet Sorrengail the daughter of Tatiana's second worse enemy. With the odds against her, Tatiana must use every trick she knows and outwit her enemies and fellow cadets for a chance to see sunrise, because once you enter Basgiath War College, there are only two ways out: GRADUATE OR DIE

Cassindra Nytheris is no stranger to death. Daughter of famed rebel Generals burned alive by dragon flame, she carried both their legacy and the weight of their loss. Basgaith War College is not for the feint of heart, and with rebellion relics inked across her skin, Cassindra is bound for the Riders Quadrant, where failure means death. With only her fellow rebellion children and a handful of unlikely allies to trust, Cassindra must endure brutal training, cataclysmic secrets, and the cold, calculating gaze of Xaden Riorson, who might already care more than he lets on. A dragon without its rider is a tragedy, a rider without their dragon is dead. [Xaden Riorson x OC]

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]

She whispered to the darkness and sang to the sun. ---------- If General Augustine Melgren was anything, it was unpredictable. Nobody would have been surprised if he had stayed single forever. He had never shown interest in anything more than sex, but one day, word filtered back to King Tauri that his general had gotten married to a red-headed wisp of a girl from Tyrrendor. The couple returned to the palace in Calldyr, only for the girl to fall pregnant shortly after. Nobody expected the doting husband and father that emerged from the bitter, ice-cold man. Most people thought he would be disappointed when the child was born a girl. But everyone saw how much he adored her. The small red-headed girl, who looked so much like her mother, had somehow managed to wrap the most powerful rider alive around her tiny fingers. This is the story of Lyra Melgren. Daughter of Augustine Melgren, the commanding General of all Navarre's forces, and Kenna Lewellen, a Tyrrish noble. ------ I have rewritten this, so my apologies to anyone who has already read the published parts.

In a world where power is earned through blood and fire, Thalia Veyne was never meant to survive. She had spent the last few years of her life hated for the sins of her parents. The relic etched into her skin is a constant reminder of how people viewed her, a traitor. Now she was off to what was meant to be a death sentence for most, Basgaith War College. But the deadliest danger of all is the one who she never saw coming: Xaden Riorson. He is the Rebellion's heir, a warrior forged in war, a man with shadows at his command. And from the moment they cross blades, they are drawn together. The deeper she falls, the more she realizes: some battles aren't fought with daggers and dragons. Some are waged within the heart. In a war where making the wrong decision means death, love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Sometimes, a throat slit doesn't end in death. Not entirely, at least. For many people death was the end but for her it was just a beginning...
