Summary
Violet Sorrengail risked everything to uncover the hidden truth of Navarre after finding her father's letter. After the horrors of Resson, she enters her second year in the Rider's Quadrant with one major goal in mind: survival.
It's a good thing that Violet has a plan for everything, from deciphering her father's final message and researching the wards, to negotiating for a luminary and keeping all of her friends from being killed in her spare time. Not to mention coping with a long-distance relationship and a stubborn first-year blaming her for her very-alive brother's death. Unfortunately, running landings are the least of her concerns.
Sequel to "the life of spies is to know, not to be known" following the events of Iron Flame.

Summary
When the King sees an opportunity to infiltrate the newly reinstated Tyrrish nobility, Lilith assures him that her daughters are up to the task. They, along with a contingent of young nobles from Basgiath, are sent to participate in Tyrrendor's debutante season. While they dance and dine and flirt, Violet and her friends must uncover what the newly appointed Duke of Tyrrendor is up to. And she must navigate the social landscape of matchmaking and politics, all while trying not to fall for the mysterious man with onyx eyes.
***
“I think you’ll find she is anything but vulnerable. You just insist on seeing her that way. But that is your failing, not hers.” His gaze shifts to Dain as he says it, but before it does, he catches an open expression on Violet’s face, which almost looks like pride.
Or: Violet's a debutante, and Xaden's an eligible Duke, but they both have secrets, and sometimes love takes a while.- Language:

Summary
To save Xaden, Violet Sorrengail turns to the Goddess of Love, Loial, pleading for a miracle. The goddess agrees, but at a price. Xaden’s soul will be restored, for love itself was what shattered him. Yet the cost is devastating: not only will Xaden forget Violet, but so will everyone who has ever known her. She will become a ghost in their lives, an unseen warrior, stripped of her place as friend, sister, or wife.
For his life and for the protection of those she loves, Violet makes the ultimate sacrifice. She accepts to becoming erased and thus this tale begins.
Next update: no idea (new details in chapter 11 as of 15.08.25)

Summary
Violet should already be dead. People whispered about her weak body and how she would never live up to her family's martial accomplishments. Violet rose above them all, however, fighting and killing to survive the Navarrian Intelligence Agency's brutal BASGIATH training protocol. Now, people whisper about Violet's swift ascension through the NIA's ranks as one of its most valuable operatives and assassins. The whispers don't matter to Violet: She has her own agenda, and it's a dangerous one - finding out what happened to her father.
But one mission changes everything: Suddenly, Violet finds herself in the crosshairs when she stumbles on information Navarre wants buried, and the country she fought for begins to turn on her. Violet knows too much, but she's determined to do what she does best: Survive. Her only hope is the son of the man who they say killed her brother, but their partnership is far from assured. Some grudges run deep, and trust is a currency too valuable to give freely. Xaden realizes Violet may be the key to everything, but with enemies seen and unseen closing in on all sides, the consequences of failure are deadly.
