Summary
Rowan Sorrengail was born for the Riders Quadrant.
For two years, he has carried the weight of his family’s expectations—the son of General Sorrengail, the brother of riders, the shadow of a sibling lost to war. His younger sister Violet is destined for the Scribe Quadrant when her time comes, leaving Rowan to walk the path carved for him alone.At Basgiath War College, weakness is a death sentence. The parapet culls the unprepared, the gauntlet breaks the reckless, and the dragons burn those they deem unworthy. To survive, Rowan must endure every trial, every rival, and every betrayal waiting inside the Riders Quadrant.
But survival demands more than strength. It demands allies. And when Rowan’s path collides with Xaden Riorson—the son of the rebellion’s executed leader and a first-year burdened with his own legacy—enmity turns into something far more dangerous: a fragile, necessary alliance.
As dragons choose their riders and the threat of war presses closer to Basgiath’s walls, Rowan will discover that loyalty cuts deeper than any blade—and that the spark of rebellion has already begun to burn.
Because in the Riders Quadrant, there is only one true law: ride… or die.

Summary
Daria barely survived the Battle of Resson, but at a steep price. Not only did she lose Soleil, her foster sister and only surviving family, she lost Liam, her childhood best friend and the person she loved most. Now, all that's left is pain and a festering, ever-growing thirst for revenge. Lost to the forces of her own rage and grief, Daria begins to descend into the darkest depths of her psyche, and in the background, her second year at Basgiath begins. Between RSC, a growing rift between her and Bodhi, the only person left from her close-knit circle of friends, and the resurgence of the Tyrrish Rebellion, Daria is at her limit. Soon, she will be faced with yet another impossible choice, and she will need to decide if her thirst for vengeance outweighs her commitment to the Revolution. And perhaps most importantly, Daria will need to rediscover what matters most to her, and who she wants to be outside of a soldier, a renegade, and wayward soul.

Summary
The world tilts before it happens, like a mountain shrugging off a storm. I feel it first along the glimmering lines— the thin, bright thread that connects myself and the girl standing beneath me. The threads that have always hummed in a single note, that soaked into my marrow until her heartbeat echoed mine, they quiver now.

”The Daramors are dragons made flesh, say the legends. We are the chosen hands of Malek and Dunne. That is why we always bond with dragons whose scales are black as death itself. Why we are so skilled in battle, at waging this endless war and reigning death upon our enemies.
The Daramors are death incarnate.
The commanders of the world.
And I’m the only one left.”

Summary
Iron flame arc and Sequel to On My Honor.
“Um isn’t Mairi a higher rank?” Someone asks.
“Oh yeah, but I follow her.” Liam nods.
“He’ll give his orders when he needs to. don’t let his pretty face fool you,” Isela says shaking her head and placing a hand teasingly under his chin. “His instincts and reflexes aren’t even human. And He’s good for reconnaissance even without his signet. I follow him.”
Or in other words. With Xaden out of the quadrant only returning every 14 days due to his dragon’s bond with Violet, Isela finds herself thrust into taking her place amongst the other marked ones as The Spare.

Summary
At a lavish masquerade hosted at the Riorson House Estate, Xaden Riorson, a poised and duty-bound young man, is swept into an electrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger.
Beneath their masks, they share a fleeting, intimate connection—a dance, a touch—that leaves Xaden longing for more. Torn between his growing desire for the stranger and the heavy expectations of his position as sole heir to the Kingdom of Tyrrendor, he’s pulled back into the world he knows, unable to pursue the freedom he secretly craves.
Haunted by the warmth of the stranger’s touch, Xaden wonders what might have been had he taken a risk and defied the destiny his bloodline has written for him. The memory of that brief encounter lingers, a painful reminder of a life he could never have. As he struggles with the weight of duty, Xaden is left to question the cost of his choices and whether he will ever be able to let go of the haunting possibility of a life unlived.
Now, he must face the devastating truth: some moments, once lost, are impossible to reclaim—Or so he thought.

Summary
Theirs is a tale written in fragments: in touches that never lingered long enough, in words left unsaid, in moments missed not by accident, but by design. Their love story was always written in the margins—glimpsed in stolen glances, held together by silence and circumstance, by longing restrained rather than shared. It was forged in the fire of war and betrayal, in the quiet space between who they were and who they had to become. And now, as the world shifts beneath their feet and the past refuses to stay buried, fates become entwined once more, both Violet and Xaden find themselves haunted not just by the memory of what they had, but by the hollow absence of what they never dared to reach for.
Because how can a love like theirs ever end… when it never had the chance to truly begin?
(A Post Onyx Storm Fic).

Summary
They call humans fragile, but I’ve watched them shatter and still stand. Violet Sorrengail is no exception—though she’s the only one foolish enough to argue with me mid-flight, mid-battle, or mid-breath. And yet…I chose her. Not because she was strong. Not because she was brave. But because somewhere beneath the stubbornness and fear, she listens. That, and she didn’t run screaming when I landed in front of her with death in my wings. A promising start.

Summary
The war is over, but the cost was unthinkable. To drive back the venin, the riders drained magic from the world itself.
In this new, disenchanted land, Violet finds Xaden again. He has survived, freed from the venin curse, yet he is not quite himself.

I had a great time reading Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm, and was devastated to discover there’s no announced date yet for the next book in the series (though I completely understand and appreciate that Rebecca needs time to craft a beautiful story).
Still, I don’t handle unfinished stories very well. This is my attempt to give myself a bit of cognitive closure on the major plotlines, particularly the whole Xaden/veninhood cliffhanger.
This is purely for fun, and I’ll be updating the story semi-regularly.
Disclaimer: I originally wrote this in French and used AI to translate it. Please don’t hesitate to tell me if anything feels off or obviously AI-generated. I can usually spot that kind of thing easily in my native tongue, but it’s harder for me in English.

Summary
This story picks up a few months after the end of Onyx Storm. Violet and her allies are losing badly to the dark wielders, friends and loved ones already dead, their defenses crumbling. Xaden is gone, consumed by venin power, and despite months of searching, Violet cannot find him or any cure.
Then Andarna returns from her time with the Irids, more mature and aware of her abilities. She re-bonds with Violet. She reveals that Irids have a unique connection to magic, making what they channel flexible, able to be shaped to nearly anything. Together, Andarna, Tairn, and Violet decide their only hope is to bend time itself.
Their plan: send Violet, Xaden, Andarna, Tairn, and Sgaeyl back to the months before the apostasy. Aaric (Cam Tauri) and his dragon Molvic, gifted with foresight, confirm that this path offers a chance at victory with one catch: Duke Fen Riorson must be convinced to organize a rebellion in secret, working from the shadows to avoid Melgren’s battle forsight, rather than declaring open secession and plunging Tyrrendor into war against Navarre. Any course that puts Tyrrendor on a path to direct military conflict with Navarre cannot win.
Or, another Fourth Wing Empyrean time travel au.

Summary
He promised her forever, and then an accident steals his memory. She takes a chance … even if it means living a lie. So who cares that he dumped her? That’s just a *small* technicality that he doesn’t even remember. All is fair in love and war.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail was born in chains.
The daughter of the Great Betrayer, she has spent her life marked by the Tyrrish punishment — twenty cuts for twenty years — and kept under the watchful cruelty of a foster family loyal to the crown. When her final cut is made, she is sent to Basgiath War College to serve the very kingdom that destroyed her family.
But Violet knows the truth doesn’t match the history books. Her father died insisting the wards protecting Navarre were failing, that monsters from The Barrens would return. For that, he was executed. For that, she has bled.
Xaden Riorson — son of the kingdom’s most celebrated general — has been taught all his life that Violet’s bloodline is poison. He should hate her. He should want her gone. And yet… every time she fights, every time she survives, his loyalty wavers.
As dragons choose their riders, as Venin stir beyond the borders, and as Violet unearths dangerous truths hidden in her father’s last gift, enemies become uneasy allies, and uneasy allies become something far more dangerous.
Because when the wards fall, it won’t matter who was traitor or hero. It will matter who’s still alive.

Summary
PLEASE NOTE: This is loosely cannon. Some lines of dialogue will be the same, but not all. It will have main events/actions, but not all will follow line with the original book.
Xaden Riorson and his sister Ravyn have survived two years. But now they've got their youngest sister to protect, and a Sorrengail. They need to navigate the quadrant with not just the lives of every marked one, but the daughter of the very woman who killed their father under their protection. They hate her, right? There's no way they could learn not to, not after what happened to them. But secrets are powerful things, and their lives relying on each others are even more powerful.

Summary
In the extensive study of the Earth’s shifting surface, wind has proven to be a quiet yet relentless sculptor. Known to scholars as aeolian processes, its actions can carve rock, move deserts, and reshape entire landscapes over time. The term derives from Aeolus, the god who governs the winds.

Imogen has always been good at keeping things contained: her signets, her rebellion ties, her feelings for the one rider she swore off years ago. But between late-night study sessions, dangerous secrets, and a dragon who refuses to stop narrating her crush, the stone has started to crumble.
Now Imogen must learn which battles to fight, which truths to bury, and which temptations are worth surrendering to. Because some kinds of erosion occur slowly, while others strip you bare in an instant.
