Summary
Wyvern Invasion/Dystopian World | Canon Divergent | Violet x Xaden | Violet x Dain.
In a realm teetering on the brink of ruin, where Wyverns scorch the sky and Venin lurk in every shadow, Violet Sorrengail finds herself caught between duty, desire, and a devastating choice. With Xaden, she has found a fierce love that defies every dark corner of their world—a love so powerful, it threatens to consume them both. But when Dain steps back into her life, bringing with him memories of a quieter past and promises of a safer future, Violet’s heart is torn in two.
As the wyverns close in, Violet must decide which path will bring her the strength to save her people—and herself. Will she choose the searing passion of Xaden, her unlikely and ardent protector? Or the steadiness of Dain, who offers a chance for peace amidst the chaos?

So good, read the chapter 21!
The emotional turmoil between the two is so real and palpable. Amazing. A true slow burn as well

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
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.

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.
