He Is the Wind, She Is the Light (Garrick x OC)
23 parts Ongoing Mature"At Basgiath, dragons choose riders. But sometimes, they choose lovers too."
You've heard Violet's story-the girl who defied death to claim her dragon. But this is Garrick Tavis's.
A marked one forced into Basgiath's Riders Quadrant, Garrick learns quickly that surviving is harder than fighting. And when he collides with Princess Marielle Virellan-veiled by duty, wielding light, and bound to another-his survival becomes tangled with something far more dangerous: love.
This tale spans Garrick's first year in the Riders Quadrant (Chapters 1-6) and then his third year, when Violet Sorrengail's saga begins-with small changes, hidden truths, and a romance forged in storm and flame.
***
Princess Marielle Virellan of Elarion enters Basgiath War College bound by duty, a lace veil, and an unwanted engagement to Prince Alic Tauri. Once her childhood love, Alic has grown into a ruthless and controlling man whose ambition burns hotter than loyalty. Alongside her fierce best friend Blanche Mirel, Marielle joins the infamous Fourth Wing, Flame Section-where whispers of rebellion stain the air, and where she first collides with Garrick Tavis.
Garrick hides a rare and deadly power, but beneath that lies dimples, defiance, and a dangerous pull Marielle cannot ignore. Even as Alic's grip tightens-his brash cruelty pushing her further away-Garrick becomes the one who steadies her, who calls her "Princess" as though it's both shield and vow.
The question is no longer whether they are bound, but whether they can survive it.
