Being trained your whole life for something that will get you killed before your fiftieth birthday has its benefits - Ruth Melgren
Ruth Melgren has been trained her whole life to attend Basgiath War College. But when your father is the General who executed the rebels of the Tyrrish  Rebellion, leaving their revenge-thirsty children behind, there's not much you can do when a quarter of the school is after your head.
Ruth has to live up to her father's expectations as well as everyone else's, while trying to not be killed in her sleep and stay alive during on-mat challenges, the gauntlet and Threshing.

DISCLAIMER THEY AREN'T MY CHARACTERS I FOUND THIS AND ASKED TO POST IT ON HERE THEY GAVE ME PERMISSION Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he's risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin. But he hadn't counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General's daughter, entering the Rider's Quadrant. She's not supposed to be here and she's about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself? This follows the dialogue and events of Rebecca Yarros's Fourth Wing, retold from Xaden's perspective. This was written prior to the release of Iron Flame, so all theories and speculation are my own and unconfirmed. It's my best guess at exploring how Xaden might have felt throughout the story and features new scenes with Liam, Garrick, Imogen, Sgaeyl and Tairn. Major plot spoilers from the very first chapter. All rights belong to Rebecca Yarros - thank you for building this world and introducing us to these incredible characters!

Secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire intertwine in the world of dragon riders. Serene Panchek has lived her life in the shadows, trained to be silent and invisible, a master at hiding her secrets. But now, as a third-year in the Fourth Wing, she's drawn into the orbit of Xaden Riorson, the infamous rebel leader with secrets of his own. Their connection is electric, undeniable, and dangerous-especially as Serene discovers that the rebellion may be her only way to escape her father's iron grip. But the truth is as deadly as it is liberating, and as the lines between loyalty and love blur, Serene must decide how much she's willing to risk... and who she's willing to betray. When Violet Sorrengail arrives, bringing both chaos and possibility, Serene and Xaden's forbidden connection is tested, revealing a path that could either doom them... or ignite a revolution.

❛𝑰'𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏, 𝒔𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏?❜ Little bubbly Saskia Barlowe would follow her twin brother to the ends of the earth even if that includes entering Basgiath War College where death were as common as saying 'hello. Saskia only wanted to remain by her brother's side but what happens when her section leader catches her eye? She had never felt such attraction to anyone before him yet he didn't even bat an eye to her. ⚔ Garrick Tavis a brooding, duty-orientated, and rather brutal third-year with a body sculpted to perfection by Gods. Romance was out of the question for him, when he needed an outlet- he'd simply find a one-night stand but things all change when a certain first-year approaches him with such innocence and a warm smile that cracked his serious exterior and ruined him for anyone else.

*Book 2 of 2* Every year, hundreds die within the walls of Basgiath War College. It's no surprise that many are those who choose the Riders Quadrant. Dragons do not tolerate much, but neither do the ruthless gryphons on the outside of the wards. At least, that's what Basgiath teaches. Zilphyer has never prescribed to its lessons and doesn't intend to know, not with rising suspicions making every interaction spawn more paranoia. She must grapple with the knowledge that some people know things about her she really wishes they didn't. Worse, she knows they'll tell whoever closest to her if it ensures her destruction, especially now that her death will kill the son of the Great Betrayer. Xaden Riorson has been the proverbial thorn in the side of the kingdom of Navarre since his conception. Now that he's survived the Rider's Quadrant with the third most powerful dragon on the Continent, some are tuning into what might be the best way to strike him down. Unfortunately for him, he's not as stoic as he likes to think when a certain woman stands by his side.
Downfall : | Fourth Wing | Garrick Tavis | by lonelychristi
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Garrick Tavis x Adira Melgren ENEMIES TO LOVERS Adira Melgren is the picture of what she is supposed to be as the famous General's daughter. Which just means that her father's plans worked and almost nobody knows who she really is. This is until she starts up in the riding quadrant at Basgiath War College and his perfect image comes crumbling along with their family secret. She expected to lay low and ride out her schooling as under the radar as possible. She surely didn't plan on having a Section leader tracking her every move from the time she stepped on the parapet. She definitely didn't think the same section leader would be interested in her in any other way than out to get her blood.
