'Ava Sorenson' thought she knew how the story went, but when a car careening across campus knocks her into the world of Fourth Wing, she finds herself in the teeth of a real-life death college. Within an hour of landing in Basgiath, she's both irrevocably changed the story and given Xaden Riorson a thousand and one reasons to kill her. Without Violet's hidden safety net of alliances, the Xaden Ava meets is the ruthless scion of the rebellion who will protect his own at all costs. To survive Basgiath, all she has to rely on are her wits and barely-remembered snippets of the first two books. Unfortunately for her, she's surrounded by intelligent and ruthless young men and women with their own motivations. As minor decisions spiral and lies and truths pile up, her mission goes from 'save lives' to 'stay alive.' ----- S l o w burn with actual enemies to lovers (Maybe not exactly, but he does almost kill her). Lots of relationship and worldbuilding. Basgiath is grittier and the consequences of a war college are taken seriously. Iron Squad is prominent and everyone gets a fair bit of screentime. OC arrives with hazy-at-best world knowledge. FMC gets with Dain and Liam too, at different points in the story.

"My father never talked a lot. He just took a walk around the block. 'Til all his anger took a hold of him. And then he'd hit. Scattered 'cross my family line. I'm so good at telling lies. That came from my mother's side. Told a million to survive. I watch the fathers with their little girls. And wonder what I did to deserve this. How could you hurt a little kid? I can't forget, I can't forgive you. 'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me." Fourth Wing Garrick Tavis x OC x Bodhi Durran

Kaida Sorrengail has always lived in the shadow of her twin sister, Violet, believing in the honor and glory of their family's legacy. Raised with tales of valor and duty, Kaida's world is turned upside down when she meets Garrick Tavis-a cunning, ruthless young man with a reputation for bending the truth to his advantage. From their first encounter, an undeniable attraction simmers between them, igniting a forbidden romance that defies the expectations placed upon them. As their relationship deepens, Kaida discovers that the world she's known is built on lies, and Garrick becomes her guide into the murky depths of truth. In a world where friends are foes and enemies are allies, can love truly conquer all, or will the weight of their secrets tear them apart? --- Posting schedule - two times a week STARTED - 7.4.2025.

She crossed the Parapet. Her sister didn't. Now Beatrix Voss is quiet, lethal, and untouchable-by design. The last person who knew her died screaming her name. But two cousins see through the silence. One challenges her. One understands her. At Basgiath, being seen is dangerous- & Beatrix Voss is about to be impossible to ignore.

Yasmine Allere has never known true peace or safety. The eldest of 6 has her priorities set: make sure her and her brothers survive the Riders Quadrant. And nothing will stop her from making her way to the top. Carving a path for her brothers to follow was what she thought the only difficult thing she would have to do, once she entered the Quadrant. A few cadets have something else in mind, making her life a living hell. But she won't let them.

Selene Quinnell is no stranger to pain. In fact, she's spent her whole life surrounded by it. Physically, and mentally. With walls higher than the tallest mountain peak in navarre, she's more than prepared to her next three years at basgaith alone... until a certain boy with onxy eyes returns to her life.

Vesper Sitara was raised to be a legacy. Daughter of two infamous Tyrrish assassins, she arrives at Basgiath War College with one goal: to make her parents proud and ensure their name is never forgotten. While others fight to survive the Riders Quadrant, Vesper intends to conquer it-blade, bone, and fire. Placed under the command of Xaden Riorson, the ruthless wingleader tasked with keeping the marked ones alive, Vesper quickly becomes a problem he can't control. He demands restraint. She was raised for rebellion. Every clash between them burns sharper than the last-and no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to stay away from him, even when she knows exactly how dangerous that is. As her first year unfolds, Vesper gains power: a dragon as savage as she is, and a place in a quiet rebellion growing beneath Navarre's rule. But chasing her parents' legacy means stepping deeper into blood, secrets, and a war that is far from over. Vesper Sitara didn't come to Basgiath to survive. She came to become a legend-even if it kills her.
