All the Things We Didn’t Disclose by ravenpuffprincess
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
23 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Violet Sorrengail has a perfect life as a lawyer: a calm 9–5, a boutique firm she loves, and absolutely zero interest in Big Law chaos.
Unfortunately, Big Law is very interested in her.
Temporarily seconded to Basgiath LLP to help save a massive M&A deal, Violet finds herself thrown into late nights, adrenaline-junkie lawyers, and a data room full of secrets. Worse, she’s stuck working with Xaden Riorson, an infuriatingly competent M&A associate who thinks closing the deal matters more than asking how it should be closed.
Somewhere between midnight diligence calls, shared takeout, and a deal that refuses to behave, Violet realizes two things:
1. Big Law is nothing like her 9–5.
2. Neither is Xaden.
All set in the least romantic setting to fall in love: the M&A data room.

Summary
Part I: The Duke and His Friend Violet
During a tense diplomatic visit to Calldyr, Duke Fen Riorson encounters a curious child—Violet Sorrengail, the youngest daughter of his rival general. Frail in body but fierce in mind, she disarms him with her unfiltered honesty and impossible hope. In her laughter, he finds something he thought he’d lost: light. But fate is not kind to dreamers, and even friendship can be a dangerous thing for a man bound by duty and war.Part II: The Little Duke and Duchess
Fen wakes in Calldyr to the echo of a nightmare—one that felt too real to dismiss. Was it memory, prophecy… or a message from the goddess Amari herself?Determined to change the fate he’s seen, Fen takes a different path—one where his son will not inherit pain, but the chance for something purer. He dares to imagine a world where ten-year-old Xaden Riorson meets eight-year-old Violet Sorrengail not as strangers divided by politics, but as children bound by something timeless.
But destiny is never simple. When the little duke and the little duchess finally meet, what begins as innocence may ignite the kind of spark that reshapes legacies.

Summary
"Who the fuck are you?"
Xaden's blade is at the stranger's throat before Violet even comprehends the situation. The sharp edge of one of his perpetual twin swords glistens in the glow of mage lights, but she doesn't understand what's going on, her vision slightly blurry and her balance off as she stumbles, catching herself, her eyes not adjusted to the sudden darkness.
Xaden sounds scared.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail just wants to survive her first summer back at Aretia in nearly two years.
Older now, with new fears and new grief, she worries how she'll find her way back. But when she returns, the mountain is the same, with its cool, fresh air. The cabins still have graffiti-covered rafters and creaky floors. And there is Xaden Riorson, still shooting her glares and wicked grins from across the dining hall.
***
Xaden's frozen, his gaze midnight, flickering over my loose, mused hair. His eyes snag on the beginnings of a braid. I huff, shooting him a look and dropping the strands I’ve been trying to weave again. “Today it's just not cooperating.”
His smile is sly as he meets my gaze in the mirror. “Let me.” I flash a disbelieving look as he steps forward, hands wide in an appeasing gesture. “I lived with Sloane for nearly a decade. I can French braid, or Dutch if you’d prefer.” He quirks his brow at me in our reflections, and truly, how is this man allowed to exist?

Summary
Professor Xaden Riorson came to Basgiath University to escape scandal, not to collect one. What he got was an obsession with the sharp-tongued student who dismantles his lectures, haunts his office hours, and makes every rule he’s clinging to look like a bad joke. He should walk away. He never fucking does.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a history professor with a badass lecture voice, a weakness for vintage propaganda posters, and a talent for making students laugh (and occasionally cry). So when nearly her entire Monday morning class abandons her for a new course in “Revolution & Rebellion in the Western Canon,” she wants answers. What she doesn’t expect is Professor Riorson: sharp-tongued, infuriatingly calm, and alarmingly hot.
It’s just a few classroom debates, a little intellectual sparring. No big deal.
Until the debates start sounding suspiciously like foreplay.Or: The one where Xaden thinks Violet is a student and tries to keep his distance - kinda

Summary
Someone is sobbing up ahead, and Violet knows her whimpers haven’t gotten any better. The plane is vibrating beneath her, around her. That can’t be right.
Dain starts to say, “It’ll be over-”
An alarm sounds, blaring through the cabin. Oxygen masks fall from the ceiling.
Dain whispers, “Soon.”
Or, Violet Sorrengail had always hated planes. They took her brother and her father. She didn't want one to take her, too. And yet, her plane went down over the Pacific, stranding her on an island that is not what it seems.

Summary
Violet should already be dead. People whispered about her weak body and how she would never live up to her family's martial accomplishments. Violet rose above them all, however, fighting and killing to survive the Navarrian Intelligence Agency's brutal BASGIATH training protocol. Now, people whisper about Violet's swift ascension through the NIA's ranks as one of its most valuable operatives and assassins. The whispers don't matter to Violet: She has her own agenda, and it's a dangerous one - finding out what happened to her father.
But one mission changes everything: Suddenly, Violet finds herself in the crosshairs when she stumbles on information Navarre wants buried, and the country she fought for begins to turn on her. Violet knows too much, but she's determined to do what she does best: Survive. Her only hope is the son of the man who they say killed her brother, but their partnership is far from assured. Some grudges run deep, and trust is a currency too valuable to give freely. Xaden realizes Violet may be the key to everything, but with enemies seen and unseen closing in on all sides, the consequences of failure are deadly.

Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.
