At Basgiath War College, Ryia Melgren grapples with a world shrouded in hidden scars and guarded secrets. Scarred by a tragic past, she immerses herself in relentless training, driven by a single, burning desire: to escape the shadow of her father. The Rebellion eight years ago shattered her world-her mother was killed for siding with the insurgents, and Ryia, who chose to follow her mother, became a target of her father's rage. Beaten and tormented, Ryia barely survived, each day a struggle for her very existence. Now, as she navigates the rigors of war college, Ryia seeks both independence and a sense of belonging, finding solace in an unexpected bond with Bodhi. Yet, every moment of connection is fraught with peril, as one wrong move could unravel the delicate web of secrecy she's worked so hard to weave. In a world where loyalty is fragile and survival is uncertain, Ryia's journey is a gripping tale of resilience, courage, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. This is a fourth Wing Fanfiction. with Ryia Melgren (OC)

"In Basgiath, survival is a battle. But when dragons dictate the bonds of fate, some battles are already lost." Lydia Evermore has spent her life fighting to survive-first in a home that sought to break her, and now in the deadly halls of Basgiath War College. She didn't come here to win glory. She came for one reason: to live long enough to never go back. But Basgiath doesn't reward survival. It devours the weak. The Parapet, the Gauntlet, the dragons-they're all designed to cull the unworthy. And somehow, she endures. When a fierce green daggertail chooses her, Lydia thinks she might finally have a chance to carve out a future for herself. Until she realizes her dragon is bonded to Chradh, the mate of a second-year's powerful scorpiontail-binding her to Garrick Tavis, a soldier as unreadable as he is dangerous. Their connection is an accident. A risk. A mistake that should never have happened. Because when Lydia's signet finally manifests, it's something rare. Something forbidden. 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬. She can shield herself. She can shield others. But most terrifyingly...she can shield HIM.

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.

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.

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.

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.
