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
I straighten the sleeves of my new uniform—a stiff but slightly oversized black suit jacket with a camisole that sits a little lower on my chest than I’d like and matching black slacks, with a pair of black stilettos in my soft leather bag for when I get to the office. One of Mira’s old suit jackets, because I couldn’t bring myself to go out and buy my own. Because this is not where I was supposed to be going today.
While mom had prepared Mira and Brennan for a career in big law—at the massive international firm that bears her name—I’d tagged along with dad since grade school, learning how to help the city’s poor. I’d planned a career in nonprofit work, just as dad had, and had just started my bachelor’s degree in social work so that I’d be better prepared. I’d intended to spend summers as a legal assistant at various nonprofits during undergrad, then law school here in the Bay.
But then Brennan had some sort of breakdown and disappeared, and everything fell apart.

Summary
At a lavish masquerade hosted at the Riorson House Estate, Xaden Riorson, a poised and duty-bound young man, is swept into an electrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger.
Beneath their masks, they share a fleeting, intimate connection—a dance, a touch—that leaves Xaden longing for more. Torn between his growing desire for the stranger and the heavy expectations of his position as sole heir to the Kingdom of Tyrrendor, he’s pulled back into the world he knows, unable to pursue the freedom he secretly craves.
Haunted by the warmth of the stranger’s touch, Xaden wonders what might have been had he taken a risk and defied the destiny his bloodline has written for him. The memory of that brief encounter lingers, a painful reminder of a life he could never have. As he struggles with the weight of duty, Xaden is left to question the cost of his choices and whether he will ever be able to let go of the haunting possibility of a life unlived.
Now, he must face the devastating truth: some moments, once lost, are impossible to reclaim—Or so he thought.

Summary
The emergence of a novel venin signet sends Xaden and the other riders scrambling to the front as a last-stand defensive line. When Violet discovers something unexpected, she's drawn into active battle for the first time where the stakes couldn't be higher. Her knowledge could be the turning point needed to win the attack, though not without the cost of lives. Xaden would give anything to save her, but even his power can fall short.
Set in the same AU as In Any Life, I'll Always Find You where Navarre never hid the venin and Violet entered the scribe quadrant.

Summary
This is a canon rewrite AU where ten cadets come together to form a single squad, fighting the venin as a united front — and, in the process, reshaping the very code of Basgiath and the Riders Quadrant.
Because the original story often left side characters and dragons underdeveloped, this version focuses on expanding their personalities, relationships, and importance. It’s a group portrait in which everyone is a hero, not just a single character’s story. As a result, some characters may feel out of character (OOC) compared to canon — this is intentional. Characters like Naolin, who died in the original, are alive here and play major roles.
Xaden steps fully into his role as the leader he was meant to be, and the central relationship is Xaden × Bodhi. Their bond is emotional and central to the plot, but there will be no explicit scenes.
This AU also aims to heal broken relationships — particularly between parents and children — and to fix certain questionable plot points from canon. Most importantly, this is a world where everyone survives — alive, whole, and together.
Note: English is not my first language, so I rely on ChatGPT for editing. Feedback is always appreciated!

Summary

The Daramors are death incarnate.
The commanders of the world.
And I’m the only one left.”

Summary
Six years ago, Seraphine Sorrengail lost her husband, Brennan Sorrengail, the man who held her heart as though it were the most fragile treasure. He vanished—or so she believed—leaving behind quiet rooms, long nights, and a grief that settled like winter’s hush over her soul.
Now he has returned, alive, carrying secrets and willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim the life and love they once shared. Time has changed them both, yet the bond that held them close whispers still. As Brennan pleads, confesses, and tenderly fights for her trust, Seraphine feels herself drawn back into the love she thought lost, falling for him all over again with a quiet, relentless longing.
Amid regret, hope, and the echo of everything they have endured, one question remains: can a marriage separated by six years of silence be made whole again?

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is in trouble. After a research paper she wrote for class condemning the current administration's handling of the conflict in Deverelli is leaked to the public, Violet finds herself under the microscope of public scrutiny. For any normal grad student, this wouldn't have been a blip on anyone's radar. Unfortunately for Violet, her mother is a high-ranking advisor in President Tauri's administration and a key architect in the country's military response to the conflict. While Violet thinks the scandal will blow over quickly, her mother's colleagues are increasingly worried about the threats against Violet's life that have been circulating online.
Xaden Riorson is screwed. After starting a private security firm with his best friend and cousin, Xaden was hoping to make a name for himself, far away from his father's presidential campaign. In a cruel twist of fate, their first client turns out to be the daughter of one of Fen's staunch political rivals. At first glance, the job seemed straightforward — protect the girl from an overzealous fanboy, who hated what she wrote. But things are not as simple as they seem, and it appeared that Violet Sorrengail would be bringing nothing but trouble to his door.
