Ghost
Seven years ago, Raven died. At least, that's what the rest of the world believes. Hidden far from Navarre and the brutal walls of Basgiath War College, the girl once buried by history was raised among others like her-different, dangerous, and taught to survive in the shadows. While the kingdom forgot her existence, Raven grew up on betrayal, sharpened by secrets and forced to become something far deadlier than a child ever should have been. Now, she's returning to Basgiath under a name that was never truly hers. She comes with one purpose: revenge. But Basgiath is full of enemies, lies, and riders who would destroy her if they discovered the truth. And worse, there's one person who keeps slipping past her defenses-someone capable of unraveling not only her carefully built plans, but the anger and grief she's carried for years. Because revenge was supposed to be simple. Falling apart was never part of the plan.
Shadows of the Rebellion
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.

War of Hearts • The Empyrean Series
Fourth Wing - Onyx Storm AU Nineteen-year-old Freya Blackfyre has trained her whole life beneath the obsidian peaks of Vaelora, her sword forged in silence, sweat, and the long shadow of a prophecy that's haunted her since childhood: Her blood will be the end of all Venin. The true Dragon Queen, born of storm and stars. To most, the prophecy is a myth. To Freya, it's a prison-one that cost her her parents, her innocence, and the boy she dared to love: Xaden Riorson, the rogue warrior who vanished after a single night of forbidden passion. Now, with war on the horizon and monsters known as the Venin returning from legend, Freya must leave behind everything she's ever known to join Basgaith War College, a brutal academy where the realm's deadliest warriors are trained. The elite school isn't just about tactics and steel-it's riddled with politics, ancient rivalries, and magic as volatile as the dragons who ride the skies. Freya's arrival at Basgaith is anything but quiet. Her bloodline makes her a target, her friends make her a liability, and her own powers-wild, storm-born and dragon-forged-are beginning to awaken. Worse still, the one person she swore to forget is very much alive and waiting: Xaden, now a legendary rider and warbound commander with secrets carved deeper than any blade. As enemies close in and prophecy tightens its grip, Freya must choose: Bow to the destiny others wrote for her, or carve her own future in fire. Because the true danger isn't what she is. It's what she's willing to become.
The trick to flying
What if someone bonded a dragon outside of Basgiath? Raven Riorson, not nearly old enough for the quadrant, loves adventures. With sixteen, she decides to run away from her foster parents and make the best of the years she has, because they didn't train her anyway. Wandering over fields and forests, jumping on wagons and stealing from hotel kitchens, she makes her way across the continent. Little did she know that she was about to encounter a dragon, nonetheless one of the biggest alive. Surprisingly, she didnt get torched, and instead bonded that mighty and rare dragon, flying to the war college. While waiting for judgment, she reunites with her big brother, and meets Liam for the first time. The teachers, not knowing what else to do, make her cross the parapet and put her to join the lessons if she survived. But does she?

Scourfire : Xaden Riorson x OC x OC Tauri
Waverly Rhodes arrived at Basgiath War College with a dead girl's name, enough daggers to supply a whole riot, and an agenda. Her plan, like most things in her life, took a turn for the worse. She didn't account for a unique threshing. She didn't account for Rome Zaher, who studies her like she's the problem, and who's seen her at her worst and filed it away without a word. She didn't account for Xaden Riorson, who has no reason to know she exists and knows anyway, pulled by something neither of them has language for yet. Waverly certainly didn't account for both of them. At 20, Rhodes has survived more than most will in a lifetime. Her mother. A venin attack. A commander who had a special way of taking care of loose ends. The sparring rings of Calldyr City. She has burned through worse than a war college and two men who can't decide whether they want to argue with her or... well. The dragons have already decided. The riders are taking longer. Between classes that could kill her, a squad she didn't plan on caring about, and new knowledge about her mother that's beginning to confuse, not clarify. Waverly Rhodes is running out of room to keep everyone at arm's length. Especially the ones who stopped being fooled by her somewhere around day one. Some bonds aren't chosen. Some fires can't be controlled. Some secrets don't stay buried.
