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
Violet Sorrengail is about to graduate after three long years in the Riders Quadrant when she’s selected for an elite team of riders representing Navarre in the Continental Games. With delegations from Tyrrendor, Poromiel and the mysterious Isle Kingdoms descending on Basgiath for the games, Violet finds herself on the brink of discovering a deadly secret.
And if that’s not complicated enough, the head of the Tyrrish delegation is none other than the man she’d kissed two years ago and then never heard from again— Xaden Riorson, the Crown Prince of Tyrrendor.
(Takes place nine years after the rebellion, imagining that Tyrrendor seceded and formed their own kingdom.)

Summary
Post Iron Flame, the Aretian assembly receives a message from Caldyr. The royal family is coming to offer their gratitude for the rebel riders’ help in the Battle at Basgiath, or so their letter says. Violet sees the message and knows it’s more than that.
Her ex is coming, and the last thing the revolution needs is Xaden adding another prince to his personal death roll.Bookmarked by CindersAsh
