Summary
They tried to break her. Torture her. Kill her.
Instead, they forged her into a weapon.
Now Eleanor Riorson-Tavis, Queen of Orlyth, wages war not only against the Venin, but against Navarre and the very gods themselves. The Balance is fractured, magic is unraveling, and with the Shadewing Den reborn, her name has become prophecy and curse alike.
With Garrick at her side, Noodle in her shadow, and Nox and Chradh above, Eleanor has built an empire of monsters-and she will tear the world apart piece by piece to protect what remains of her family. Her kill count climbs. Her mercy burns to ash. Her humanity slips further from reach with every battlefield she leaves empty.
But victory comes at a cost. And the deeper she walks into madness, the clearer it becomes: this was never just war. It is a reckoning. It is the endgame.
Because Eleanor isn't fighting to save the world anymore.
She's fighting to remake it.
And when the dust settles, history won't call her hero or villain. It will call her what she has always been:
Oblivion.

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.

Now, as a young adult with a toddler, Azalea must leave her son behind to join the Basgiath War College. The twists and turns along the way make her realize just how difficult it will be to keep her secret. How will the people who were once her friends and family react if they were to find out? But now, she has a new family member to protect, one she named after her adoptive brother, and she will protect him at any cost even if it means keeping his entire existence a secret.*Updates Weekly*

Summary
“At Basgiath, dragons choose riders. But sometimes, they choose lovers too.”
You’ve heard Violet’s story. But this is Garrick Tavis’s. Or more like Marielle Virellan's.A Marked One forced into Basgiath’s Riders Quadrant, Garrick learns quickly that survival is harder than combat. With the rebellion mark branded on his skin and the power of wind in his hands, he is already dangerous enough. But when he collides with Princess Marielle Virellan—veiled by duty, wielding light, and bound to another—his survival becomes entangled with something far more perilous: love.
This tale spans Garrick’s first year in the Riders Quadrant (Chapters 1–6) and then his third year, when the original Fourth Wing saga begins—with hidden truths, fierce dragons, and a romance written in wind and light.

Summary
🐉Just a heads-up: This fanfic was crafted before the release of Onyx Storm. As a result, some events and characters may differ from the canon. The published chapters will remain unchanged, regardless of any new details from the book.
Aurora, the youngest of a once-powerful noble bloodline of Morraine, had always followed a carefully laid path—until the Riders Quadrant promised her freedom. The daughter of a rider father and a witch mother, she had always felt the weight of her heritage. At twenty, she left home for Basgiath, where dragons, politics, and rebellion collided.
With the King's son and the Marked Ones entering Basgiath, Aurora must navigate her family's ambitions, her bond with her dragon, and unexpected ties to Xaden Riorson and Alic Tauri.

Summary
Eleanor “Len” Lennox was never meant to survive this long. But now that she has—she’s not sure who she is anymore.
The war has reached a breaking point. Navarre is crumbling from the inside out, tangled in bloodshed, backroom politics, and betrayals disguised as strategy. Len was forged for battle, trained to kill—but nothing prepared her for this kind of war. The kind where words are as sharp as blades, and allies might be enemies in disguise.
As time runs out, Len finds herself walking a path her mother once warned her about. The lines between hero and monster are blurring. The darkness inside her—once caged—is waking, hungering, changing her.
With Nox at her back, and Garrick at her side, Len is a weapon ready to be unleashed. But love is no longer her anchor—it’s her weak point. And in this war, weakness is fatal.
As gods reach down and monsters rise up, Len must choose who she’s willing to become to survive.
A savior? A destroyer? Or something far, far worse.
Because the phoenix doesn’t rise to save the world.
She rises to remake it.

Summary
It is mid-November 633AU, the Venin interference in Poromiel is increasing. The people of Poromiel are trying to enter Navarre to seek protection that is being systematically denied.
In Basgiath, a small number of riders led by Xaden Riorson, are forging alloy weapons and delivering them to fliers to allow them to fight the Venin forces, but this effort must be kept secret. Navarrian leadership is torn between the inevitability of the threat that the Venin represent to Navarre in the near future and their past actions and choices to manipulate information and deny the existence of the threat. Lilith Sorrengail is pushing for a more practical approach from leadership, but neither Melgren nor the King appear open to listen to her opinion. She feels alone and losing faith in the things that always were the NorthStar of her life.
On the border, the news of strange things going on in Poromiel is emerging, but few know the whole truth… Trond Coven has more information than most, but he does not know how much he can share and he no longer believes in official reports.

Summary
Kyra Riorson, daughter of the executed rebellion leader Fen Riorson and younger sister to Xaden, was only fifteen when she watched her world burn—literally. Branded by magic as one of the 108 children of traitors, she is torn from her brother’s side and forced into the care of General Lilith Sorrengail.
In a brutal world where survival is earned with blood and trust is a weapon, Kyra’s mission is clear: stay alive, see Xaden again, bond a dragon, and—above all else—keep Violet Sorrengail breathing. But with war looming, secrets festering, and old loyalties threatening to tear apart the fragile peace Navarre has had, Kyra must walk the line between duty and rebellion, protector and traitor, sister and weapon.
Because the deadliest force in Navarre isn’t forged by war—but by love, loss, and the will to protect.

Summary
Being Xaden Riorson’s sister means Anarys enters Basgiath with a reputation she never asked for and enemies she hasn’t even met yet. The War College demands strength, cunning, and a will to survive—but Anarys refuses to be defined by her brother’s rebellion.
Except Garrick Tavis won’t let her breathe without a fight. Her squadmate, her rival, her shadow in every spar and every strategy drill—he’s impossible to ignore, and even harder to forget. He challenges her every choice, pushes past every wall, and looks at her like he already knows how this ends.
Surviving her first year is hard enough without dangerous secrets, squad politics, and dragons circling overhead. But surviving Garrick Tavis might be the real war she’s fighting.
Enemies. Partners. Something more than either of them will admit—until it’s too late.

Garrick Tavis POV - Companion Chapters to Xaden Riorson - Year 2 by Ubiquitously_Ubiquitous

Summary
Garrick Tavis is in his second year at Basgiath. He and his best friend, Xaden Riorson, have this place figured out. They've survived first year, bonded a dragon, and set up a secret weapons exchange system with gyphon fliers.
But as second year begins, Garrick's past begins to catch up with him thanks to the arrival of Bodhi Durran, Imogen Cardulo, and others. Garrick suddenly has to confront the truth of what happened to him during his foster years. And through it all, he has to confront the reality that he may just have unwanted feelings for a certain blonde hair, green eyed first year from his past. But how will that affect his current relationships, including the one with his sort-of-sort-of-not girlfriend from first year?
This is an exploration of some of the scenes from my Xaden Riorson - Year 2 story from Garrick's POV, along with a few new scenes that give us some complexity into Garrick's character. These character "snapshots" allow me to develop some of the characters in Xaden's story that don't quite fit in with the rest of the story. And of course, we'll start getting a look at Garrick and Imogen's...er...relationship.

Summary

The events take place during Iron Flame, Onyx Storm and after.
VIOLET
They have us surrounded. My hands shake as I retrieve the last of the alloy hilt daggers from my thigh. Tairn is making sure Sgaeyl can fend off the masses of Wyvern that have targeted her and Xaden. I need them safe, because I have reached my limit. Every cell in my body feels like a scab, I can barely stand upright as I bring the dagger above my head, standing over Bodhi.His face is flushed, sweat soaked. My heart shatters as he gets paler by the second. I curse my own size, the large wooden cart that has crushed his right leg is too heavy for me to move, and I have drained myself to the point of being unable to use lesser magic. The venin before us grins underneath his red hood. He savors his moment of victory, taking agonizingly slow steps towards us.

Summary
Ten years ago, Kaela was torn away from her home, hidden away for a future that was never guaranteed. Now, that future has come calling.
Tyrrendor has won its freedom, but the fight is far from over. To secure the kingdom's stability, its Assembly demands Kaela uphold a decades old contract binding her to Xaden Riorson— former rebel, warrior, and now, the reluctant king of Tyrrendor. But Xaden is grieving, the weight of his crown heavy, and the scars of war have turned childhood friendships into distant memories.
She was trained for politics, not battle. He was forged in war, not courtly games.
And Navarre is watching, waiting for them to fail.
Oh, and she may or may not have accidentally befriended his dragon.
Becoming queen was no longer part of the plan. But neither was running into a dragon in the clearing and offering it a flower crown.
