Darilynn Riorson has spent her entire life in the shadow of her brother-the infamous rebellion heir, Xaden Riorson.
When she turns twenty and is conscripted to Basgiath War College, she knows one truth for certain: the Riders Quadrant doesn't forgive weakness.
Armed with a sharp tongue, a few equally chaotic friends, and a rebellious streak to rival her brother's, Darilynn is determined to carve her own legacy-not as someone's sister, but as a rider who earns her place in the sky.
But Basgiath is more than a school; it's a crucible of secrets where death waits behind every parapet step and trust is rarer than dragonfire.
Then there's him-the hidden crown prince of Navarre, living under a false name.
Cold, calculated, and infuriatingly untouchable, he embodies everything Darilynn swore to hate. Their rivalry burns hotter than dragonfire... until battle lines blur and sparks ignite something far more dangerous.
As war looms and ancient magic stirs beneath Basgiath's walls, Darilynn must decide what-and who-she's willing to fight for.
Because surviving the year might not be enough.
Not when the truth could burn down the kingdom... and the one person she can't afford to lose.

Black Sapphire | Xaden Riorson | S/H
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. *SHE/HER* [Book 1 of 2]Complete
Daughter of the Rebellion - A Fourth Wing Rewrite
Few in Navarre ever whispered of Fen Riorson's second born. Selene Riorson was the hidden heir-kept in the quiet of her brother's shadow, guarded under Xaden's watch as the world hunted the remnants of their father's rebellion. But shadows were never meant to hold the night forever. Where Xaden commands shadow with precision and restraint, Selene wields the deeper dark-the pulse of night and blood, fierce and untamed. He was forged to lead; she was born to bring change. Both carry the rebellion's legacy in their veins-one of strategy, the other of chaos-and together they walk the fine line between survival and uprising. Under the false name Selene Asteri, she enters Basgiath War College, hidden from Navarre's truth. As Xaden leads the marked ones, she works from the unseen corners, helping to rebuild their father's cause beneath the enemy's eye. But when Xaden's heart is ensnared by Violet Sorrengail, daughter of the general who executed their father, fate twists the rebellion's path. Bound by dragons and danger, Xaden's control begins to falter-and Selene is forced to rise from the shadows to protect him, even if it means exposing the power she was never meant to reveal. Because where her brother bends the shadows to his will- Selene Asteri is the night that answers back.
The Crown Between Us
Princess Clarke Tauri has always been a symbol - the jewel of the Serran Empire, second in line to a throne she never asked to inherit, trained in diplomacy, etiquette... and how to weaponize a smile. But when war bleeds across the continent and rebellion ignites in the shadows, her father sends her to Basgiath War College with one order: Watch. Learn. Do not bond a dragon. But Clarke has never been good at following the rules. Thrust into the brutal world of Rider Quadrant, she enters under her true name - publicly royal, infamously spoiled, and far more dangerous than anyone expects. Her peers whisper that she's a pawn. A liability. A crown with no place on the battlefield. Until she starts proving them wrong. With a sharp tongue, secret scars, and a fire that won't stay buried, Clarke begins to carve her own legend - and catch the attention of two very different men: Dain Aetos, the golden boy with loyal hands and a wounded heart... and Garrick Tavis, the scowling wing leader who sees too much and trusts nothing. But dragons don't bond to pretty titles or whispered threats. And as tensions rise between rebellion and regime, Clarke must decide what she's willing to burn to become more than a symbol - to become something real. Because in Basgiath, surviving is a choice. Becoming fire is a declaration.Complete
