Athena Sorrengail (yep, that's me) has been preparing for the Healers quadrant her whole live, but her mother seemed to have a different plan.
Or so everyone thought
In secret has I have been preparing to become a rider since I turned 12.
The only problem is that not only I need to survive, but I have to protect my sister, Violet. No matter the cost.
Oh, and not to forget to see my boyfriend again.
Because what would my world be without Dain Aetos.
Probably a lot better and more fun, because hopefully you didn't really think that I would ever go with someone like Dain. I have standards you know.
But buckle up everyone(except Dain) it is going to be an adventurous ride!

Control it // The Empyrean series
I grew up in the shadow of my brother. The shadow of my last name. No one knew who I was, until everyone knew. Until I was the very definition of control itself. Most riders encounter a dragon up close for the first time when they're twenty years old. I was nine. I've hid our bond from every other human for eleven years, because if anyone finds out I'm dead. Now... Secret's out May the wrong people never hear of itComplete
Echos of Blood: Shadows and Scars
Auren Riorson has always walked a fine line-between shadow and steel, between survival and something more. Trained as a Rider, secretly drawn to healing, and bonded with a dangerous bloodwielding power, she can control blood itself-either to save or to destroy. Stepping into Basgiath War College, Auren finds herself back in the chaos: brutal training, cutthroat politics, and dragons circling overhead, their roars shaking the stone halls. With her loyal best friend Liam by her side and her older brother Xaden looming over every move, she has to keep her wits sharp. Because in this world, one wrong step could mean death-or worse. But graduating the war college isn't the only danger. Venin hunters, wyverns with razor-sharp teeth, and enemies hiding in plain sight are closing in. And as the stakes rise, Auren will have to face her family's deadly past, master the terrifying power she was bound with, and figure out if loyalty and love are worth the risk when everything could be ripped away in a heartbeat. ------------ if you haven't already read the Fourth Wing series... like, what are you even doing with your life?? 😂 go give rebecca yarros all the love because it's honestly one of the best series i've ever read. this fic is obviously inspired by her world, but for me it's turned into a story about love, friendship, found family, and especially the bond between siblings. a lot of it follows the storyline from fourth wing / iron flame / onyx storm, but i've changed up some of the characters, a few signets, and since onyx storm just came out-anything beyond that is just my own theories and imagination making it my own thing. and hey, if it's not your vibe... totally fine. don't read it, I'm sure there are sooo many other good ones out there! 🖤 and nooo i'm not telling you who Auren's romance arc is-you'll just have to keep guessing 👀Complete
BETWEEN SHADOWS AND LIGHTNING | Xaden R. & Violet S.
Tala Linz was forged in fire-sharp-tongued, stubborn, and impossible to forget. She grew up at Xaden Riorson's side, their days filled with sparring matches that often ended in bruises and broken weapons, and nights spent arguing under the stars about the future they were never promised. But when Tala joins the Riders Quadrant , reunites with Xaden and meets Violet- the woman who looks like the sun when she smiles, trained to be a scribe and is a complete opposite of Tala- things change. Old flames reignite. New connections spark. And in the chaos of rebellion and secrets three hearts begin to beat to the same rhythm. But love, like war, demands sacrifice. And Tala isn't sure she can survive another battlefield, not when it's her heart at stake at the end of the day. ☆☆☆ Tala L. x Xaden R. x Violet S.
Death, Dragons & Dumb Decisions
Surviving the Riders Quadrant is hard enough, but surviving it while keeping a massive secret? That's just plain reckless. Nyx Greycastle-well, that's the name she's using-has spent her life surrounded by dragons, but pretending to be just another first-year cadet at Basgiath War College is proving more difficult than she expected. Between sadistic instructors, bloodthirsty rivals, and an annoyingly handsome wingleader who keeps looking at her like he knows something, staying under the radar is impossible. Oh, and there's also the minor issue of not dying before Threshing. With secrets, enemies, and an ever-growing number of dumb decisions piling up, Nyx is in for the deadliest three years of her life. But if she wants to claim a dragon-and live long enough to turn the tide of a secret war-she'll have to prove she's more than just a name. Because in the Riders Quadrant, survival isn't guaranteed. It's earned. Updated on AO3 first under the same name. I do not own the characters, only Aelin Tauri/ Nyx Greycastle, please let me know if you are enjoying
Iron Flame (Summer's Version)
In her first year at Basgiath War College, Ivy Sorrengail went from a cadet raised to believe in justice, honor, and sacrifice for her country, to a rider prepared to commit treason to do what is right. Now that she knows the truth her country tried to bury she has to tread a careful line between a pawn to Navarre's crown and a queen to a country that would rather see her executed for her mothers crimes, than lead it. However, iron is forged from the hottest flames, and she would rather burn than let everyone she loves succumb to the true darkness that lurks in the shadows. *** This is my twist on Iron Flame by Rebecca Yaros. I do not own the story.

Both are gonna take care of you and will show you around." My father said leaving me confused as to how he knows the two marked kids. Before I could say anything else, he handed me a journal. His journal from when he was still a rider. A journal that was almost six years old. "Hide this very well, don't let anyone know that you have this." He said before letting me shove it into my rucksack. "Read this when you're alone, before threshing." _______________________________________________ Isabella Rosewood was a strong and intelligent woman. She was mostly known for her beauty, every man was mesmerized by her, and every girl was jealous of her. Being Christopher and Freya Rosewood's daughter meant she has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders, she couldn't let her parents down. When she entered the quadrant she noticed how many eyes were on her, some deadly but some kind. But one eye in particular caught her attention. Bodhi Durran's eye. He promised her father to protect her, even though she was a very strong and ruthless fighter. Her father wanted to make sure they were some extra eyes on her. But when she finds out a huge secret that her father had written about in his journal, which he handed to her and ordered her to read and hide very well. Everything changed.

But if she doesn't change during the three years, then she can come back to her home. But there's only one problem. Xaden notices her as soon as she steps foot into the Quadrant.

Wings of Desire
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. - Article One, Section One, The Dragon Rider's Codex "Anyone else feel like changing their mind?" Xaden shouts, scanning the remaining rows of cadets with the same shrewd gaze of the navy-blue dragon behind him. "No? Excellent. Roughly half of you will be dead by this time next summer." The formation is silent except for a few untimely sobs from my left. "A third of you again the year after that, and the same your last year. No one cares who your mommy or daddy is here. Even King Tauri's second son died during his Threshing. So tell me again: Do you feel invincible now that you've made it into the Rider's Quadrant? Untouchable? Elite?" No one cheers. Another blast of heat rushes - this time directly at my face - and every muscle in my body clenches, preparing for incineration. But it's not flames... just steam, and it blows back Rhiannon's braid as the dragons finish their simultaneous exhale. The breeches on the first-year ahead of me darken, the color spreading down his legs. They want us scared. Mission accomplished. "Because you're not untouchable or special to them." Xaden points toward the navy dragon and leans forward slightly, like he's letting us in on a secret as we lock eyes. "To them, you're just the prey." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Who is that?" "Rhae Sorrengail, the forgotten daughter. She's Violet's twin, they're nothing alike though. Violet is the calm before a storm, and Rhae is the hurricane. The anger and stubbornness of that woman are insane." "God forbid she and Xaden stay in the same room for too long. Someone would likely end up dead." Started: June 5, 2025. (technically March 24, 2024 bc thats when I started writing it) Finished:
