Summary
Before Violet Sorrengail ever sets foot on the parapet, her path crosses with a dark, magnetic stranger on a stolen night in Chantara. Neither of them knows who the other is, but the connection is undeniable, the pull irresistible. What should have been just one reckless night of desire becomes a haunting memory that refuses to fade.
But when Violet enters the Riders Quadrant, she comes face to face with the one man she can’t forget—the man whose father died at her mother’s hands. Xaden Riorson. Her enemy.
In a world of dangerous alliances, where secrets are weaponized and war is brewing, Violet and Xaden are forced into a dance of survival and desire. Caught between loyalty and longing, shadows and light, they must navigate a tangled web of enemies, betrayals, and forbidden truths.
He’s sworn to protect her because of a promise. She’s determined to survive, even if it means confronting the truth about him—and herself.
The question is, when everything falls apart, will they destroy each other... or save each other?!!!Spoilers for fourth wing, iron flame and potentially onyx storm!!!

Summary
Now that he’s risen through the ranks to Wingleader, Xaden Riorson only has one goal for his last year at Basgiath: Get all the marked kids bonded and graduated so they can fight the real enemy lurking at the borders.
The only problem is that Violet Sorrengail, the general’s youngest daughter, has also joined the Rider’s Quadrant this year. He doesn’t know why she’s here, what her plans are, or if he can trust her. All he knows is that he can’t seem to stay away.This is Fourth Wing retold from Xaden’s POV. It follows the dialogue and timeline from Fourth Wing with my own interpretations and theories of Xaden’s actions and feelings. As it was written before the release of Iron Flame, all ideas and theories are just that – theories. Many elements are my own head cannons/speculation and are unconfirmed by Rebecca Yarros.
I would recommend reading Fourth Wing first as there are major plot spoilers throughout!
