    Summary

    I tried to come up with an explanation, or a warning, or something to tell Sloane about the intimacy of a mender and siphon doing complex work together. I’d dug through books and journals of other menders, and I’d seen plenty of references to the connection, but nothing that explained it. The closest was an observation that a mender worked best with a siphon assigned as their permanent partner. Nobody talked about what definition of ‘partner’ was being used.

    After the Battle of Basgiath, Brennan teaches Sloane how her signet is meant to be used.

    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

    “I always wanted to be a rider, Even before,” Liam said ahead of her, ignoring the interruption of their squad mates as they continued down the path between the large dragons. “I would have done it anyways.”

    “Figures,” Isela said with a huff. “I’m not surprised since you’re so good at it. No offense to any Dragons listening, but I didn’t. I always left the fighting to Xaden and Bodhi.”

    “So what did you want to be?” Liam asked.

    “Before it all, I was trying to decide between a scribe or a healer.” Isela said with a wistful sigh. Despite the dragons judging her on both sides. “But then I met Violet. She was already deep into training to be a scribe by the time I got there. And while I was doing drills in the courtyard she’d practice transcribing or reading a tome. I learned a lot about the scribes from her. And honestly I wished I was her.”

    In order to have insure Balance, Fen Riorson had two kids instead of one. With their father’s downfall, the youngest, Isela Riorson, is sent to live with the enemy, General Sorrengail. After not seeing her brother in years, She enters the rider’s quadrant along side her foster sister, Violet.
