Book Two
She was never meant to rule.
That doesn't mean she won't control those who do.
After the King's sudden death, Elara Sorrengail is forced into a role she never asked for-Duchess, rider, and unwilling player in a political game she knows all too well.
Her cousin now wears the crown.
And while he may sit on the throne, Elara has no intention of letting him destroy everything Xaden and the rebellion had been working towards.
Because power isn't about who rules.
It's about who they listen to.
But court politics are only the beginning.
War is coming.
Alliances are shifting.
And Basgiath is now longer a semi safe place, because Varrish has arrived.
Elara is learning to trust Kaerith again, but it is hard when she doesn't know if he will be more loyal to his parents, or her--his rider.
Xaden Riorson is still her husband who has been keeping secrets.
Garrick Tavis is still a steady presence keeping her sane.
And whatever exists between the three of them? It's only getting more intertwined.
Her signet is changing....evolving.
Light no longer behaves the way it used to.
And something new is beginning to stir beneath it.
With enemies closing in and tension rising on every front, Elara will have to decide:
Will she play their game?
Or will she be the one pulling the strings?

Blades of Radience
She whispered to the darkness and sang to the sun. ---------- If General Augustine Melgren was anything, it was unpredictable. Nobody would have been surprised if he had stayed single forever. He had never shown interest in anything more than sex, but one day, word filtered back to King Tauri that his general had gotten married to a red-headed wisp of a girl from Tyrrendor. The couple returned to the palace in Calldyr, only for the girl to fall pregnant shortly after. Nobody expected the doting husband and father that emerged from the bitter, ice-cold man. Most people thought he would be disappointed when the child was born a girl. But everyone saw how much he adored her. The small red-headed girl, who looked so much like her mother, had somehow managed to wrap the most powerful rider alive around her tiny fingers. This is the story of Lyra Melgren. Daughter of Augustine Melgren, the commanding General of all Navarre's forces, and Kenna Lewellen, a Tyrrish noble. ------ I have rewritten this, so my apologies to anyone who has already read the published parts.

Then there's Xander, twin of Xaden, both cold, lethal, and infuriatingly magnetic. He's the light wielder everyone fears, yet the only one standing between her and certain death. Between dragon bonds, deadly Threshing trials, and political games that span generations, Charlotte must learn one thing: survival isn't just about skill-it's about trust, strategy, and the secrets she keeps... even from herself. Secrets, loyalty, betrayal, and a touch of forbidden attraction. Welcome to Basgiath.
Basgiath's Weapon | Iron Flame X Fem OC
Oleander Sorrengail survived her first year in the Riders Quadrant, but survival came at a cost no one understands. Not her brother, who she thought was dead, only to learn he chose a war over her. Not her twin, who she will always come second to. And certainly not her mother, General Lilith Sorrengail, who has only ever seen her as a disappointment, and a tool to wield. Bonded to a feral dragon, Oleander was never expected to develop a signet. Most assumed she would become another casualty, either of her own magic or of stronger riders. But during the worst moment of her life, her power finally drips out of her. Nightmares made of black ink. Creatures that move like liquid metal. Horrors that react to her every emotion and reflect something dark enough that even her allies begin to question what she is. And Oleander has no idea how to control them. When Basgiath's leadership realizes what she can do, they see more than a rider. They see the ultimate tool. The perfect weapon. And they will stop at nothing until Oleander becomes exactly that. This is an Iron Flame fanfic intended for audiences 18+ due to mature content.
