She was never meant to ride. He was never meant to fight. But war leaves little room for choice.
Betrothed at fifteen to the cruel prince Alic Tauri, Emiana Melgren knew her fate was sealed. That is, until Alic died at Basgiath, leaving her father- the king's most trusted general- with a daughter he had no use for. Now, forced into the Riders Quadrant with not nearly enough training, Emiana has only one goal: survive.
But survival becomes infinitely harder when she discovers that Prince Camlaen Tuari, Alic's brother, has abandoned the castle for Basgiath; taking on the name of Aaric Graycastle to remain hidden. Cam saw Emiana's suffering years ago and did nothing. And now, she has no reason to trust him- especially when he keeps watching her like she's a ghost of his past mistakes.
Yet Emiana's greatest threat isn't Cam, it's everyone else. As the daughter of General Melgren, the man responsible for the deaths of nearly every marked rider's parents, she is now the most hated name in the quadrant. Enemies lurk in every corner, waiting for their chance to kill her, to make her suffer as their families did. But Emiana has spent her life surviving, and she won't stop now.
As ancient enemies stir and hidden secrets rise, Emiana and Cam are tied together by forces beyond their control. Because their dragons are bound. Their fates are entwined. And the truth buried in her past may be the kingdom's salvation- or its ruin.

Echos of Blood 2: The Blood That Binds
Auren Riorson never expected to survive her first year at Basgiath War College-not like this. Not with the memory of Liam's death carved into her bones. Not with a signet that grows more volatile by the day. Not with the truth about her family's murder and the fables of dark wielders and wyvern proving to be terrifyingly real. Now, the real tests begin. Second year at Basgiath is more brutal than the first, filled with survival trials designed to break riders from the inside out. But it isn't just the enemy outside the wards she has to fear. With her dragon Mal newly mated to a dragon-Auren finds herself tethered, however unwillingly, to the one rider she vowed never to trust. And with Navarre's lies unraveling, every secret threatens to destroy her before the venin ever can. The world is burning. Wardstones are failing. And the dark wielders aren't just stories whispered in the archives-they're coming. To survive, Auren must decide who is truly worth her trust, even as betrayals cut closer to home than she ever imagined. Determination won't be enough this time. Because in a world where dragons choose their riders, and dragons themselves carry dangerous secrets, Auren will have to prove that her iron will is strong enough to save them all- -or risk losing everything she holds dear to the flames.

UNTAMED
Elara Ravelle is the kind of girl who punches first and never bothers asking questions later. Doing it first instead of asking for permission. So what happens when she enters someone else's story? Growing up in a world where loyalty is currency and violence is survival, she's made a living off instinct and grit. So when she wakes up one day in the brutal, magic-fueled world of Fourth Wing, her first reaction isn't fear-it's strategy. Survival. Here, at Basgiath War College, death is part of the curriculum. Dragons choose their riders-or kill the ones they find unworthy. Cadets are trained to become soldiers in a war most won't survive. And Elara? She's not even supposed to exist in this world, let alone thrive in it. But returning home means going back to the streets, to blood-soaked pavement and enemies who don't need magic to end you. So she makes her choice eventually: stay, fight, and figure out how the hell she landed in a fantasy war zone before it eats her alive. One thing's for sure-Elara never plays by the rules. And Basgiath has no idea what it just dragged in.
