A Fourth Wing Fan Fiction She wasn't supposed to be here. Aura Beinhaven has spent years living under the weight of a powerful name, buried beneath expectations, politics, and a life that was never truly her own. Determined to choose her own future, she arrives at Basgiath War College prepared to survive the impossible-even if it means crossing the deadly Parapet and facing a fate where death is more common than graduation. But Basgiath is far crueler than the stories. Here, cadets are tested by their superiors, hunted by their peers, and judged by dragons that owe them nothing. Every day is another fight to stay alive, and every decision could be their last. Aura expected enemies. She expected betrayal. She expected blood. She never expected him. Six years after disappearing from her life, Xaden Riorson stands before her once again-not as the boy she remembers, but as the squad leader now responsible for shaping her survival. Old wounds refuse to stay buried. Secrets linger between them. And in a place where trust can be fatal, the past may prove even deadlier than the future.

So when she joins the quadrant and is reunited with the Marked Ones, she might fight to survive not only for herself, but to finish off what her parents started alongside no other than Xaden Riorson.

They say signets are a reflection of the soul. That they represent some of the deepest parts of a persons heart. What if all someone ever knew was bloodshed? What they had a strong desire to control those around them and make them suffer for the things they've done? Amarya Sorrengail was not like the other Sorrengails. Lilith did everything she could to keep her hidden from the eye of those in power, even if that meant banishing her to the outskirts of Navarre where war and bloodshed ran rampant.

Vitalia Montclair enters the Riders Quadrant with blood on her hands and a destiny she never asked for. Born the daughter of Vance Montclair, the infamous assassin whose name still curdles the air in every kingdom, Vitalia grew up in a world where mercy was weakness and obedience was survival. Vance carved fear into the continent-innocents, criminals, nobles, no one was spared-and when he finally turned his cruelty on his own children, Vitalia learned what true terror felt like. But King Tauri saved her. Or so she believed. Under King Tauri's protection, Vitalia and her twin brother Vladimir Montclair were remade into weapons-personal assassins, puppets bound by gratitude and fear. The hatred once aimed at Vance shifted to them, and the twins embraced it. They killed because they were commanded to. They killed because it was the only life they knew. They killed because King Tauri told them they owed him everything. And Vitalia believed it. Until the day King Tauri sent them to the Riders Quadrant with a single order: No explanation. No hesitation. No mercy. Vitalia enters the Riders Quadrant expecting another mission, another corpse, another name to carve into her ledger. But the Riders Quadrant is nothing like the world she came from. But worse. For the first time in her life, Vitalia begins to question the chains around her throat. The Riders Quadrant forces her to confront truths she's never allowed herself to think: that King Tauri didn't save her-he claimed her. that her father's sins aren't hers to carry. that she is more than the blade she was trained to be. •Xadenriorson x FemOc•
