Book 1 of The IronBlood Saga
Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, it became a detour.
Raina De Luca was forged in blood-the daughter of an Italian mafia don, trained from childhood to survive betrayal, carve power out of fear, and never hesitate. When a rival family puts a bullet in her skull, she expects darkness.
What she wakes to is war.
Reborn in a land ruled by dragons and deadly magic, Raina is forced into Basgiath War College, where survival is earned one kill at a time. Her instincts make her lethal. Her discipline makes her respected. Her past keeps her dangerous.
But nothing about her resurrection is an accident.
Her strength is wrong-too natural.
Her senses are sharp in ways no human should possess.
Her magic, when it stirs, feels ancient... familiar... remembered.
And the dragons look at her not with curiosity, but recognition.
Whispers follow her through Basgiath-echoes of a life she doesn't remember. A power she once had. A homeland beyond this world entirely. One whose people are older, immortal, and carry starlight in their blood.
As Venin rise and war looms, Raina realizes her arrival wasn't fate.
It was a mistake.
An interruption.
A displacement from a world that is calling her back.
One ruled by courts.
By magic.
By a High Lord who has long believed his lost sister died centuries ago.
In Navarre, death was mercy.
What comes next is the truth she was never meant to forget.

After being marked, surviving with the demons in her head, and having feelings she definitely shouldn't, she's finally headed to Basgiath, along with Xaden and Garrick. The three of them-as the eldest Tyrrish marked children-must prove themselves at the infamous War College, even though most of the people there are only trying to sabotage their paths.

Together, they burn through the streets of Ironwood in a storm of speed, secrets, and revenge. But when loyalty crashes and hearts collide, the only thing faster than their cars... is the fallout. Enemies, exes, fast cars, and faster decisions. This isn't just about racing anymore. It's about survival.Complete
Beneath the Ash
Rheanyra Silvarra has always known what it means to survive. Born to a disgraced noble house and branded a rebellion relic before she could walk, she's spent her life training in the shadows, carrying the ghosts of Aretia and the weight of a past no one dares speak of. At Basgiath War College, she's not just another first-year crossing the Parapet-she's a threat. And everyone knows it. Especially Xaden Riorson. They've known each other too long, fought side by side in silence, and now face each other across squad lines with carefully constructed masks. Their hatred is a language only they speak-a shield against the danger of letting anyone too close. Because walls are safer than attachments. Safer than hope. Thrown into Fourth Wing under Xaden's command, Nyra finds herself surrounded by enemies, allies she doesn't trust, and a squad that's as fractured as her heart. With every glance, Xaden dares her to fall back. With every order, he reminds her who holds power. But she didn't survive the slaughter of Aretia to be silenced. As dragons descend and the deadly crucible of Basgiath begins, Nyra must face not only the dangers of Threshing and the brutal hierarchy of the Riders Quadrant, but the truth she's buried for years. Because war is coming. Secrets are stirring. And for rebellion kids like Nyra and Xaden? Survival was only the beginning. XadenXoc
