Summary
Xaden Riorson is hockey’s most dangerous weapon. Trapped on a losing team with a ruthless owner (Rex Tauri) and a tyrant of a coach (Augustus Melgren) who control every move he and his teammates make, Xaden is counting down the days until he can break free.
Violet Sorrengail has just claimed everything she’s ever worked for. She's the newest principal dancer at Navarre Ballet Theater, she was cast in her dream role, and just landed a career-defining brand deal that could launch her into another stratosphere entirely.
There’s just one catch.
Her campaign partner is Xaden Riorson - the broody, arrogant athlete who clearly doesn’t want to be there… or anywhere near her.
But when an out of context photo goes viral, a fake relationship becomes the perfect power play. It should be simple: a few staged photos, a couple of public appearances, a strictly professional and mutually beneficial arrangement. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Summary
Rhiannon Mattias came to Basgiath to become a rider.
She didn’t expect to survive the parapet because of a grippy boot gifted by the grace of a girl everyone else underestimated. She didn’t expect the Riders Quadrant to become a family forged in blood, storms, and secrets. And she definitely didn’t expect how complicated loyalty (and love) would become once dragons chose their riders.
From parapet day onward, this is the story of Basgiath, the war, and the people who fought it from Rhiannon’s perspective: the friendships, the rivalries, the victories, the grief, (and the moments Violet didn't see because she was too busy making eyes at Xaden.)
Canon events, missing scenes, evolving relationships, and the choices that shape who survives and who doesn’t. This work will follow the events of all published Empyrean novels from Rhiannon's POV.
