Her past chases her every move and shadows follow her every footstep. Her newly-discovered signet might be able to get her the revenge she wants, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. As she uncovers the truth of the past, she lies to herself about the present. She's lost, tangled, and scared. Her dragon isn't exactly a big help.

Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me.

❞What if stories didn't just save you... but gave you a second chance?❞ Lila Morgan's story was supposed to end the moment she leapt from that bridge. But instead of darkness, she wakes up in Navarre on Conscription Day, surrounded by strangers who are far too familiar. She's inside Basgiath War College, the brutal world of her favorite book, where dragons choose riders, rivals play deadly games, and survival demands more than strength - it demands ruthlessness. With a new strength, a new name - Liora Emberveil - and knowledge of every twist, betrayal, and death to come, she should have the upper hand. But knowing the story doesn't mean she controls it. Her presence alone shifts the threads of fate, and every step she takes pulls her further from the book she thought she knew. Some changes are small. Others are dangerous. And one mistake is all it takes for someone like Xaden Riorson to notice. "You're not like the others, Emberveil," Xaden tells her, eyes like storms as shadows coil at his back. "People like you burn too hot or break too soon. So tell me, which one are you?" With her past clawing at her mind and the future spiraling out of her control, Liora faces an impossible choice: survive the story as it was written, or tear it apart and write something new. But in a world where loyalty is scarce and trust is deadly, she'll have to ask herself one question If a dragon choose her, will she choose herself? ~|If you enjoy this story on �������� but want options, it's also available on AO3!

Six years ago, Aelin Riorson was believed to have died at the hands of Colonel Aetos, with her brother Xaden helplessly watching as her throat was slit. But Aelin survived - and went into hiding, assuming the alias Lillian Parker to protect herself, her brother, and the rebellion. She looks little like Xaden, with pale skin, strawberry-blonde curls, and a gentle demeanor. But her mismatched eyes - golden onyx in one, emerald green in the other - and the knife scar across her neck are the undeniable clues to her true identity. Now, as she enters the Riders' Quadrant, Aelin must keep her past buried. She bonds with Zyphira, a dragon tied to her family's lost legacy, and her signet manifests a dangerous power: a fusion of light and shadow, like her brother's own. As Aelin grows closer to Liam, another rebel, the weight of her secrets grows heavier. But when Xaden begins to question the night she died, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. In a world where secrets can kill, Aelin's survival hinges on keeping her true identity hidden - but the truth may be impossible to deny. ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO REBECCA YARROS EXCLUDING MY OWN O/C
