Death did not make Seraphina Melgren softer. It made her done. She wakes from a blade to the throat into a world that expects gratitude. Obedience. Silence. A neat return to the roles she was supposed to play before she died. She refuses all of it. The venin are still out there. The leadership is still lying. And the men who once thought they could protect her-or control her-are learning a brutal truth: Seraphina Melgren is no longer asking permission. Kael Riorson's charm doesn't reach her anymore. His flirting earns him nothing but cold looks and sharper words. Whatever died in her on that battlefield didn't come back with her heartbeat, and she has no intention of pretending otherwise. She doesn't need comfort. She doesn't need approval. And she certainly doesn't need saving. She has power that terrifies even the dragons. Power that once killed a rider and their dragon-and now answers only to her. And if the world wants to keep its secrets, it should have killed her properly the first time. Because Seraphina Melgren came back wrong. And she's done being played by anyone who thinks love, loyalty, or fear can make her bend.

Being a Melgren is a curse dressed as a legacy. Seraphina Melgren carries her father's name like armor, forged in blood, discipline, and unyielding expectation. She was trained to strike before weakness appears, to move like shadow, to survive when others fall. But Basgaith War College spares no one. Its halls are alive with danger, betrayal, and the restless defiance of the rebellion kids-cadets who bend every rule and challenge every law. Every glance could hide an enemy. Every step could trigger a trap. Loyalty is fleeting. Power is everything. And failure is not an option. Surrounded by rivals and secrets that refuse to stay buried, Seraphina must fight, deceive, and outsmart anyone who stands in her way. Because at Basgaith, only the strongest survive-and even a Melgren can fall.

Ivy has read Fourth Wing an unhealthy number of times. So when she wakes up at Basgiath War College-in Violet Sorrengail's year, no less-she knows three things: 1. The parapet is a nightmare. 2. People are going to die. 3. She is absolutely not built for this. She's not the heroine. She's not important. She's just a girl with way too much spoiler knowledge and zero plot armor. Her new plan? Survive the Riders Quadrant. Don't interfere with canon. Avoid main-character drama. Unfortunately, she immediately befriends Bodhi-who is clever enough to notice she keeps predicting things and annoying enough to ask questions. Now Ivy has to survive dragons, deadly trials, and the consequences of knowing how the story is supposed to go. Because changing fate is one thing. Surviving it is another.

In my world, Fourth Wing was just that: a story. A fantasy book full of action, betrayal, dragons, sexual tension thick enough to cut through... and a man with dark eyes and tattoos like war scars who stole my breath with a single word. Xaden Riorson. The character I was never supposed to fall for-because he was fiction. Because he didn't exist. Until he did. Until I woke up in a body that wasn't mine, in a reality that shouldn't exist. And they called me Seryna Valenforth. I didn't know if I was dead, dreaming, or cursed. I only knew I wasn't in my bed anymore, not in my room in the real world, but in a castle-with a list of future corpses parading through my memory. I already knew their names: Jack Barlowe, Amber Mavis, Dain Aetos, even Violet Sorrengail... all pieces on a board that was about to break. And I was inside it. Part of me refused to believe it, but the other... the other was ready. I'd read Fourth Wing so many times I could recite entire lines by heart. I knew who lived. Who died. When. How. Why. And most importantly: I knew who I wanted to save. Liam. My loyal, sweet soldier whose death still hurt, even if he was made of ink and paper. Sloane. A little girl with too much darkness and too many stories behind her eyes. Andarna, my favorite dragon. And yes... him too. Xaden Riorson. I wanted it all. His gaze. His respect. His desire. Even his warnings wrapped in veiled threats. I wasn't going to give up that place. This time, I would be the one to face him on the sparring mat. I would be the one to make him hesitate. The one who became the weakness he never saw coming. And maybe, his strength too. Change the story. Even if it cost me my life. Because this was no longer a book. And I was no longer a reader. I was a player. And this time... the Empire had no idea who they were playing with.

Book One ~ Most cadets lose their lives during their first year. Fifteen Percent of those lost it on the parapet. Another seventy-five percent would never make it to their graduation. Those were the statistics that had stuck in Kyna's mind through her first year. It was those statistics that held her back from watching the cadets, her cadets, crossing the parapet the following year. Xaden Riorson x fem!OC male!OC x Violet Sorrengail

Fourth Wing - oc Riorson X oc Melgren In a world where dragons choose their riders-and those who survive the Quadrant's brutal training-the stakes are higher than life itself. Charlotte Melgren thought she understood her place in the Riders Quadrant... until she discovers secrets about her past that could change everything. Trained in shadows and signets she barely understands, she's forced to navigate deadly rivalries, merciless instructors, and dragons that could kill her before she even mounts them. Then there's Xander, twin of Xaden, both cold, lethal, and infuriatingly magnetic. He's the light wielder everyone fears, yet the only one standing between her and certain death. Between dragon bonds, deadly Threshing trials, and political games that span generations, Charlotte must learn one thing: survival isn't just about skill-it's about trust, strategy, and the secrets she keeps... even from herself. Secrets, loyalty, betrayal, and a touch of forbidden attraction. Welcome to Basgiath.

Six years ago, Aelin Riorson was believed to have died at the hands of Colonel Aetos, with her brother Xaden helplessly watching as her throat was slit. But Aelin survived - and went into hiding, assuming the alias Lillian Parker to protect herself, her brother, and the rebellion. She looks little like Xaden, with pale skin, strawberry-blonde curls, and a gentle demeanor. But her mismatched eyes - golden onyx in one, emerald green in the other - and the knife scar across her neck are the undeniable clues to her true identity. Now, as she enters the Riders' Quadrant, Aelin must keep her past buried. She bonds with Zyphira, a dragon tied to her family's lost legacy, and her signet manifests a dangerous power: a fusion of light and shadow, like her brother's own. As Aelin grows closer to Liam, another rebel, the weight of her secrets grows heavier. But when Xaden begins to question the night she died, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. In a world where secrets can kill, Aelin's survival hinges on keeping her true identity hidden - but the truth may be impossible to deny. ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO REBECCA YARROS EXCLUDING MY OWN O/C. All books with Aelin's story will be under this one story. Fourth Wing - Complete Iron Flame - Complete Onyx Storm - Currently Writing Book 4 - TBD Book 5 - TBD
