Summary
At twelve and fourteen, Penelope and Colin sit side by side in the Bridgerton drawing room, meant to be studying Latin.

When he wakes, he secretly adds butterflies to her sketches, and their friendship deepens into something unspoken, fragile, and lasting.
OrPen never fit at home but always with the Bridgertons. Between flowers in the margins and butterflies in the air, something gentle began to grow.

Summary
Four hundred years ago, Navarre leadership chose to not hide the existence of the venin. Instead, they aid Poromiel in the fight for the Continent.
We step into this alternate universe as Xaden, fierce rider and Duke of Tyrrendor, meets Violet for the first time. Without the secret of the venin, she excelled in the scribe quadrant to become its leader, and she journeys to Aretia to offer him something he never dreamed of. Her arrival and brilliant mind send him reeling, ensnaring him in a way that feels as if it was simply inevitable.

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.
Magic might be fading, but it isn't gone — not by a long shot. And for those who can still hear its call, it still has something to say.

Summary
This story picks up a few months after the end of Onyx Storm. Violet and her allies are losing badly to the dark wielders, friends and loved ones already dead, their defenses crumbling. Xaden is gone, consumed by venin power, and despite months of searching, Violet cannot find him or any cure.
Then Andarna returns from her time with the Irids, more mature and aware of her abilities. She re-bonds with Violet. She reveals that Irids have a unique connection to magic, making what they channel flexible, able to be shaped to nearly anything. Together, Andarna, Tairn, and Violet decide their only hope is to bend time itself.
Their plan: send Violet, Xaden, Andarna, Tairn, and Sgaeyl back to the months before the apostasy. Aaric (Cam Tauri) and his dragon Molvic, gifted with foresight, confirm that this path offers a chance at victory with one catch: Duke Fen Riorson must be convinced to organize a rebellion in secret, working from the shadows to avoid Melgren’s battle forsight, rather than declaring open secession and plunging Tyrrendor into war against Navarre. Any course that puts Tyrrendor on a path to direct military conflict with Navarre cannot win.
Or, another Fourth Wing Empyrean time travel au.
