Summary
Two patients. One long-term ward. And a whole lot of tension.
Violet has been navigating the challenges of H'EDS for as long as she can remember, keeping her pain, frustrations, and sarcasm close to the chest. That is until she ends up sharing a hospital room with Xaden Riorson and her whole world is turned upside down.
Thrown together in the confines of a hospital room meant for two, they clash, argue, and slowly—terrifyingly—start to understand each other. Outside their room, the rest of the ward is a chaotic mix of friends and fellow patients, each carrying their own struggles, secrets, and moments of humour
In a place where every day is measured in exams, scans, and heartbeats, connections are fragile, laughter is rare, and falling for someone who’s just as sick as you might be the hardest thing of all.

Summary
Six years after Tyrrendor’s successful defection from Navarre, the continent stood on the cusp of an uneasy alliance. Tyrrendor flourished, united under King Fen Riorson’s leadership. Poromiel thrived under the guidance of Queen Maraya Cordella, its military strength bolstered by advances in gryphon-mounted warfare. Navarre, led by the increasingly enigmatic King Tauri, struggled to maintain its veneer of dominance while hiding the truth about the Venin’s threat. Amidst this backdrop, the city of Calldyr in Navarre became the host for a historic leadership summit, its grandeur a thinly veiled attempt to project power.

Summary
A millennia after the Deunification of Navarre, the war that splintered the Continent is little more than a dusty, half-forgotten memory. Magic is fading; dragons are few and far between; and Violet's problems are decidedly first-world. While the dragon riders of old worried about death lurking around every corner, her biggest worry is whether she'll get into the masters program of her choice. So when an infuriating, handsome man steals her spot at a coffee shop while she's in the bathroom, she doesn't expect that the meeting is far more than mere coincidence.
But Xaden's and Violet's feud over the best spot at the coffee shop evolves into something deeper, and as the years pass, Violet's dreams begin showing her terrifying scenes of war and loss that she struggles to forget about when she awakens, and the dreams feel more and more familiar with every passing night.
