Summary
Yrina Hera Coralinus died with the rest of her family after the rebellion.
At least, that is what Navarre believes.
Taken by General Lilith Sorrengail and hidden for five years, Yrina is trained, shaped, and sent to Basgiath War College under another girl’s name: Violet Sorrengail. Her orders are simple. Survive the Riders Quadrant. Keep the lie. Protect the real Violet’s future.
But Basgiath is full of dragons, enemies, and marked ones who remember the dead.
And Xaden Riorson is watching her too closely.

Summary
“Our armies in Aretia have fallen, your highness.”
King Tauri rose from his throne in a swift movement. His hands gripped the fine clothes he wore as he cursed.
“Where is General Sorrengail?” He asked. He looked out of breath, even though he had barely moved.
“She’s returning to Navarre, with her husband,” he hesitated. “They… Fen Riorson—” Tauri growled at the mention of that name. “He… he has taken Sorrengail’s youngest, Violet, as hostage.”
“What?” he all but screamed. It couldn’t be… Could he know about what Violet truly was?
“He said she will stay in Aretia with them, to ensure you respect his demands as the new king of Tyrrendor.”
Or, the AU where Fen wins the Battle of Aretia and becomes king, Violet is forced to stay in Tyrrendor under the tutelage of Liam’s parents and has to marry Xaden. Oh, and Violet absolutely hates his guts

Why do I have to hide?
Why do I have to hurt myself like this?
Why is this voice so loud?Why can't you look at me?
Why is there so much blood?
Why am I okay with letting go?What if, instead of running into Xaden and the other marked ones during chapter 18 of Silver one, Scaled one, Violet accidentally ran into Sgaeyl while hunting and had her secrete exposed to her and coincidentally Tairn, and Xaden? (Who is still in the meeting with the other marked ones)

Summary
The gods have decided enough is enough, people have been uneducated about everything for so long that they decided at a last resort to have them understand whats going on.

Summary
After the battle at Resson, a wounded Sgaeyl nurses her injuries, waiting alongside everyone else for Violet Sorrengail to wake up. She reflects on the events after the battle.
This is a fluffish, whump-ish one-shot centred around Sgaeyl and Tairn. This does diverge slightly from canon in places with some minor changes, but generally maintains the same events.

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
Violet loved a lot of things. She loved a lot of people.
Her sister; Mira. Her father, her mother....she wouldn't get into that, that would take too long.
She had made friends, her dear Squadmates; Rhiannon, Sawyer and Ridoc. Dain, her childhood friend.
And of course, Xaden. Her sweet, loving, badass boyfriend.
But she knew something, deep in her heart. Something she had tried to deny, something she had hidden deep within her heart. She was never their first choice. They would never choose her, not truly. She wouldn't be the first choice.
Mira would choose the lives of the people, her mother would choose her priorities as a General, Rhiannon would choose their Squadmates, so would Sawyer and Ridoc. Dain would choose his Father. And Xaden? If came down to everything and anything, he would choose the Marked Ones; Bodhi, Garrick, Imogen, Liam and everyone else.
No one would choose her.
Except maybe, Andarna.
And perhaps Tairn....

Summary
"Its nothing important, nothing that should interest you at least." She dismissed passively.
I still press gently, "Its enough to keep you grounded, Silver One. If you are worried that the Golden One would overhear, she is asleep under a tree and I can shield her out."
"No need, besides, you shouldn't have to worry about your rider's problems. I know you don't like it when I nag." a quick deflection from her, and one I scoff at down our bond.
"Then let it not be a problem between a Dragon and Rider but between an Elder and Hatchling."

Between losing her apartment, juggling classes, and wrangling two dogs—one of them who happens to be a chaos puppy—she’s one step away from a breakdown. The last thing she expects is to end up living with Xaden Riorson—grumpy, gorgeous, and absolutely not thrilled about their new living arrangement.Roommates. Enemies. Maybe something else.

Summary
To save Xaden, Violet Sorrengail turns to the Goddess of Love, Loial, pleading for a miracle. The goddess agrees, but at a price. Xaden’s soul will be restored, for love itself was what shattered him. Yet the cost is devastating: not only will Xaden forget Violet, but so will everyone who has ever known her. She will become a ghost in their lives, an unseen warrior, stripped of her place as friend, sister, or wife.
For his life and for the protection of those she loves, Violet makes the ultimate sacrifice. She accepts to becoming erased and thus this tale begins.
Next update: no idea (new details in chapter 11 as of 15.08.25)

Summary
“You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.
“No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”
Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.
A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

Summary
Recently, something just seemed softer about her to her friends. Maybe it was her free hair, maybe it was her seemingly constant smile, or maybe it was that for the first time in her short life she lived in a time of relative tranquility.
As tranquil as it could be as the twenty four year old Queen of a newly independent country, but she’ll take it as peace nonetheless.
TLDR: Here amongst the hatching grounds, Violet and Xaden muse in the dream that is their lives
Pre "At Every Table" but obviously stands alone :)

Summary
With the looming war between Naverre and King Tecarus, Basgiath are forced to merge the Riders and Infantry cadets together, to ensure a higher chance of survival.
Violet hadn’t seen Xaden in three years, ever since she had been forced to become a rider, and he had enrolled into the infantry quadrant. And it was just her luck, that they’d now been put within the same squad to work alongside each other whilst training.
They’d once been inseparable, with enough history and memories which Violet had forced herself to forget.
And surely being back within each other's proximity was only going to end up one of two ways.They’d either end up killing each other, or fall back into the same orbit they had been in three years ago. But Violet would be dammned if she let herself back into Xaden Riorson’s arms.
