In a world torn apart by rebellion, Kaelin Riorson, the fiercest fighter in her family, stands at the edge of everything she's ever known. As the rebellion against the venin grows darker and more desperate, secrets are buried beneath layers of blood, betrayal, and sacrifice. With dragons lurking on the horizon and enemies closing in, Kaelin must navigate a treacherous path, balancing loyalty to her family with the harsh realities of war.

As her father, Fen Riorson, the leader of the rebellion, prepares to make a final sacrifice, Kaelin is forced to carry a burden far too heavy for anyone to bear. But the rebellion's survival is no longer just about battles-it's about the choices she must make to protect the ones she loves.

With dragons poised to play an unexpected role in the conflict, Kaelin's destiny will intertwine with fire and fury. As the shadows of the rebellion close in, she must face not only the threat of the venin but the truth that could tear her family apart. In the end, who will she trust, and who will she lose?

A tale of love, loss, and fierce determination, Shadows of the Rebellion will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Sweet Serenity (Fourth Wing) (Xaden Riorson) by jessiroad

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.

THE HEIR OF STORMS | Garrick Tavis by padfootxxx

Illena Draekar had no idea why she applied to be a dragon rider. She had her reasons, of course. But her reasons were a secret, and Illena was so full of them that she didn't know anymore what was a secret and what was just a fact. She had a plan, that was a fact. But the plan itself was a secret. The war was getting worse, that was a fact, and was also a fact that Illena was the one to blame for that. Which war? That was a secret. Why she was the one to blame? Also a secret. Why she had so many secrets and so many facts? Well, that's a secret. But I'll give you a fact: she thinks it's time to fight. And what better place to begin than Basgiath? The marked ones were there. The dragons were there, the professors, the weapons, the lies, the reasons, they were all there. The only thing she did not expect to be there was love. But love was for children, and Garrick surely wasn't one. Illena may have fallen in love with him, anyway. But that was a secret as well. And also a fact. (This is a Fourth Wing fanfiction, the characters and the story belongs to Rebecca Yarros, only the main character, Illena, is original)

Golden Flames //Fourth Wing by fairyintherapy

I knew it was wrong, I knew it was dangerous, yet nothing could keep me from him, he was my heaven in hell. Deyanira Tempest was always supposed to enter the Riders Quadrant but 1 year before her due day, Mira, the older sister of her childhood Friend Violet comes to her with an alarming message that forces her to enter the Quadrant early, making her whole Life turn around the moment she firstly faces Xaden Riorsen. No" i breath out as i look Mira in her eyes, searching for the lie that should be there but there is none. Her eyes stare back in mine as sincere as they could have been, her gaze lightly clouded as she holds onto my shoulders " I know you hace one year left Deya, but she won't survive without you, please, help her". Panic errupts in my mind. Panicking not only out of fear for my friend but also because the fear my uncle would find out before i would be able to cross the Parapet if I'd decided to go and would punish me for even trying, disobeying the rules he has set. As i look back at Mira i see the same fears swirling in her eyes and in trance of the cruelties of Lilith Sorrengail, i nodded, sealing my fate, trading my soul.

From Fall to Flight [Fourth Wing+Iron Flame] by smolMeatloaf

❞What if stories didn't just save you... but gave you a second chance?❞ Lila Morgan's story was supposed to end the moment she leapt from that bridge. But instead of darkness, she wakes up in Navarre on Conscription Day, surrounded by strangers who are far too familiar. She's inside Basgiath War College, the brutal world of her favorite book, where dragons choose riders, rivals play deadly games, and survival demands more than strength - it demands ruthlessness. With a new strength, a new name - Liora Emberveil - and knowledge of every twist, betrayal, and death to come, she should have the upper hand. But knowing the story doesn't mean she controls it. Her presence alone shifts the threads of fate, and every step she takes pulls her further from the book she thought she knew. Some changes are small. Others are dangerous. And one mistake is all it takes for someone like Xaden Riorson to notice. "You're not like the others, Emberveil," Xaden tells her, eyes like storms as shadows coil at his back. "People like you burn too hot or break too soon. So tell me, which one are you?" With her past clawing at her mind and the future spiraling out of her control, Liora faces an impossible choice: survive the story as it was written, or tear it apart and write something new. But in a world where loyalty is scarce and trust is deadly, she'll have to ask herself one question If a dragon choose her, will she choose herself? ~|If you enjoy this story on Wattpad but want options, it's also available on AO3!

Can't Cheat Death - Brennan Sorrengail by tsunamisea

Isla Riorson is many things. But when she throws away her status of heir apparent to the Dutchy of Aretia to follow in her grandfather's footsteps, her life begins to fray at the edges. Not only can she not trust the cadets around her, but she's not sure she can even trust herself anymore when she meets Colonel Sorrengail's eldest son. Arrogant and full of himself, Brennan Sorrengail is nothing less than a thorn in Isla's side. To prove herself to not only her family, but to herself, anything but perfection is unacceptable, and Brennan Sorrengail makes being perfect near impossible. - Prior to the events of Fourth Wing - Iron Flame This book will be mostly original, with original characters and *Some* familiar faces, but since we don't have a lot of information about Brennan's time in Basgiath I'm going off of the set ups explained in the book and taking creative liberties with the rest. This story *Will* include smut chapters, but I will include warnings before so if you would like to skip you may. These smut chapters will be few and far between as this is a slow burn rivals to friends to lovers kind of book.

The Lies We Hold in Our Hearts by NarniaChen

Kathleen is so far, and yet so close to her home. Kathleen's secret is out and miraculously, she isn't dead. Xaden Riorson hasn't killed her, but he isn't the biggest threat to her life. Not anymore. Her past chases her every move and shadows follow her every footstep. Her newly-discovered signet might be able to get her the revenge she wants, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. As she uncovers the truth of the past, she lies to herself about the present. She's lost, tangled, and scared. Her dragon isn't exactly a big help. This is the second "book" to The Secrets We Hide from the Dark. This story is written in first person and present tense. A fanfiction based on Rebecca Yarros's novel and series Fourth Wing/Iron Flame from the Empyrean series. Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me. It is recommended that you read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm before reading this, but this may also be read without reading those books. Some theories might be incorrect and not align with the Empyrean Series. Nevertheless, enjoy! Also available on AO3(Archive of Our Own)

Black Sapphire | Xaden Riorson | S/H by glitched__god

*SHE/HER* *Book 1 of 2* 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. (Y/N)'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. (Y/N) 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.

Shadowcloaked // Xaden Riorson by old_therebefore

"I have only ever known loss and ruin. I lost my father. I lost my home. I lost my people. I lost whatever power I had just so I could protect what was left of my legacy. Now I know none of it ever mattered to me the way you do." This is a story about what true feelings mean when compared to the absurd force of a broken heart. How love may disappear but never truly leaves you behind. How friendship can become love and then nothing at all. A dragon without its mate is death incarnate. A rider without his soulmate is death still breathing.
