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.

“Bossy,” I joke, but I’m not entirely surprised when her only response is silence.

Summary
A millennia after the Deunification of Navarre, the war that splintered the Continent is little more than a dusty, half-forgotten memory. Magic is fading; dragons are few and far between; and Violet's problems are decidedly first-world. While the dragon riders of old worried about death lurking around every corner, her biggest worry is whether she'll get into the masters program of her choice. So when an infuriating, handsome man steals her spot at a coffee shop while she's in the bathroom, she doesn't expect that the meeting is far more than mere coincidence.
But Xaden's and Violet's feud over the best spot at the coffee shop evolves into something deeper, and as the years pass, Violet's dreams begin showing her terrifying scenes of war and loss that she struggles to forget about when she awakens, and the dreams feel more and more familiar with every passing night.

Summary
Maeve Lochlain has a signet unlike any other.
This is a dangerous thing, because Maeve Lochlain is the daughter of Heath Lochlain, the now-deceased right-hand to Fen Riorson, leader over the revolution.
But that was a long time ago. And now, Maeve is a third-year, struggling to stay alive and stay sane as she pushes through her final year at Basgiath War College alongside her best-friend, almost-brother, Xaden Riorson. She is a fierce leader with a stone heart that people do not crawl inside easily.
But she can crawl inside of yours.
When Liam Mairi comes to Basgiath, Maeve's entire world flips upside down as she attempts to fend off feelings that have not invaded her mind since she spent years standing alongside a powerful figure back in Aretia. But no matter how hard Maeve tries, it seems Liam, a boy that used to be nothing more than one of many ogglers, gets underneath her skin, and cracks open her heart in a way that can't be mended.
