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.

Some are born to rule. Others are forced to. Verena Valois never wanted the throne, but fate has other plans. To survive Basgiath War College, she must fight-not as a princess, but as a rider. She came for Ryuga Vaenor, her best friend, her only constant. But Basgiath is ruthless, and survival demands strength, not sentiment. Then there's Xaden Riorson-a complication she doesn't need. Dangerous, infuriating, impossible to ignore. Hatred fuels their every encounter, sharp as a blade's edge, yet beneath the fury lies something far more lethal. Shadows cling to them both, secrets buried too deep to be spoken. And in a world where trust is a death sentence, desire is even deadlier. Meanwhile, Ryuga Vaenor watches from the sidelines, his love for Verena a silent war he cannot win. But in a place where loyalty is a weapon and love is a weakness, will he be her shield-or her downfall? The Valois and Vaenor stand apart from Navarre-kingdoms of their own, bound by no oaths, ruled by no outside power. Their strength is undeniable, their histories woven deep into the fabric of war and dominance. The Valois dragons, the first and strongest, bow to no one, their fire hotter, their magic deeper than Navarre dares to claim. Their presence alone is a declaration: they do not take sides-they are the side. As whispers of rebellion rise, Verena must make a choice: embrace the destiny she never wanted-or burn trying to escape it. "Not all wars are fought in daylight. Some begin where shadows meet."

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.

'Love is the most dangerous betrayal of all.' Aria was one of the First Riders - the girl who siphoned the power of gods, who forged the wards with her own blood and who was betrayed by dragons and chained beneath the stone for centuries. Now she is free and the world will bleed for what it has done to her. Xaden Riorson was sent to kill her. To infiltrate her city, learn her secrets and put an end to the godless queen who threatens Navarre. But every step closer only drags him deeper into her orbit - into her ruin. She is fire wrapped in flesh, a weapon carved from grief and the most dangerous temptation he has ever faced. Enemies by oath. Bound by darkness. Their desire is a blade at both their throats. And when the world begins to fracture, the deadliest choice of all is how much of the world they are willing to tear apart in the ultimate betrayal. A villain OC / Venin Xaden. The story begins Post Onyx Storm. *Under revision April 2026.

In Navarre, the Sorrengail name is already known. Violet Sorrengail was never meant to survive Basgiath. But she isn't the only Sorrengail who enters it. Azaella Sorrengail walks the same halls-but she was never built to survive them. She was built by them. Trained by Lilith Sorrengail herself, Azaella doesn't adapt to Navarre. Navarre adapts to her. And by the time Basgiath realizes what she is... It may already be too late. Updates once a week Started : 05/05/2026 Completed : ?

Nary was left to the dragons as a baby. Quite literally- her parents wrapped her up in a blanket, and left her in the Vale. Nary was raised by the dragons, all until she got found by Fen Riorson. The Riorson's took her in and became her real family. But when everything fell apart, Nary ended up with a rebellion mark and thrown back into her childhood home- the Vale. But when Nary turns 20 she's back at Basgiath, and most importantly, reunited with her husband - Xaden Riorson. ☆☆☆ Posting schedule : randomly through the week beacause I'm on my summer break!

Ten years ago, Gracie Varlyn lost everything. On the night the rebellion fell, she was torn away from the four boys who had been her family-Xaden Riorson, Bodhi Durran, Garrick Tavis, and Liam Mairi. Separated by war and believed lost to one another forever, they each forged their own path through a broken world. Now, at nineteen, Gracie is forced into the deadly Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College, where dragons choose their riders and survival is never guaranteed. What she never expected was to come face to face with the four soulmates she'd spent a decade mourning. As ancient magic awakens and long-buried secrets come to light, the five discover that the bond connecting them is far older-and far more powerful-than anyone imagined. Together they must survive ruthless trials, deadly enemies, and a kingdom built on lies, all while fighting for a love that defies every rule. Because some bonds can never be broken . And some souls are always destined to find their way home.

He should hate her...much more than he hates Sorrengail. But something about her was fascinating. Artemis Melgren is everything Xaden Riorson isn't - soft, gentle and kind. But her past has made her lethal. Her father makes her a threat. And yet...he can't seem to stay away. Especially after watching her all but sprint back onto the parapet in order to save her best friend.
