Summary
Xaden Riorson had been a constant in Violet’s life ever since Brennan brought him home to play when they were seven. He was her brother’s best friend, perpetually pulling her braids and shooting her dolls up into the air attached to bottle rockets. And yet, Violet had fallen in love with him. She never believed he’d ever see her as anything other than his best friend’s little sister, until he kissed her before she left for college.
But then he didn’t call. And at Brennan’s funeral he sat in the back with his head down and lips sealed—not saying a single word.
So she evaporated him from her heart. She made herself forget. She left home for a new life away from the ghosts that haunt her. But when she starts at Aretian Law as a seond year associate her plans are thrown out the window when the dark haired man with gold flecked onyx eyes walks into the conference room wearing a stone cold expression on the face that used to wear a toothless smile.

Summary
Violet’s life is quiet, safe, and painfully unseen. With a soft voice and neutral opinions, she conforms to a world of beige. Struggling with her own feelings, she fights to carry the Sorrengail name in her own way. Raised in a world that sought to protect rather than prepare her, Violet was never hardened by cruelty or sharpened by survival. But when her path takes a drastic turn, she is thrust into a future that will test not only her strength, but her sense of self.
Xaden was seventeen when Tyrrendor claimed its independence. Raised by his father in a world where war was always looming, he was shaped to lead and trained to fight. Determined to become the next leader, he carries the Riorson name with pride and honor. Where Violet was sheltered, Xaden was hardened—not by exile or loss, but by responsibility placed too heavily on young shoulders. He learned that love is a liability, control is survival, and hesitation costs lives. But when faith disrupts the life he’s built, the greatest threat to his control may not be war.
Two lives shaped by opposite forces. One forged by war. One sheltered from it. And yet—both must learn that who they were raised to be may not be who they are meant to become.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a storm I cannot contain, a fire I cannot extinguish, and a truth I cannot ignore.
As war gathers at our borders and our greatest enemies lie in wait, I must guard her, not just from steel or strategy, but against the very parts of me she awakens: desire, fear, and something dangerously close to hope.
In the shifting tides of loyalty, power, and betrayal, I must ask myself: how much of myself am I willing to lose to keep her alive—and at what point does protection become surrender?
*Disclaimer: All credit belongs to Rebecca Yarros. Inspired by the work of alexa_raye and her interpretation of Fourth Wing, as written by Rebecca Yarros.

Summary
Med school is hell. Being broke is worse. Violet’s solution? Make a deal with the devil — and he answers to Riorson.
But when their worlds collide, Violet learns this deal is about more than money — it’s about power, politics, and survival. Oh and the fact she wants to climb that man like a tree.
