Summary
To save Xaden, Violet Sorrengail turns to the Goddess of Love, Loial, pleading for a miracle. The goddess agrees, but at a price. Xaden’s soul will be restored, for love itself was what shattered him. Yet the cost is devastating: not only will Xaden forget Violet, but so will everyone who has ever known her. She will become a ghost in their lives, an unseen warrior, stripped of her place as friend, sister, or wife.
For his life and for the protection of those she loves, Violet makes the ultimate sacrifice. She accepts to becoming erased and thus this tale begins.
Next update: no idea (more details in endnote of C10)

Summary
“You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.
“No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”
Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.
A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

Summary
Recently, something just seemed softer about her to her friends. Maybe it was her free hair, maybe it was her seemingly constant smile, or maybe it was that for the first time in her short life she lived in a time of relative tranquility.
As tranquil as it could be as the twenty four year old Queen of a newly independent country, but she’ll take it as peace nonetheless.
TLDR: Here amongst the hatching grounds, Violet and Xaden muse in the dream that is their lives
Pre "At Every Table" but obviously stands alone :)

Summary
With the looming war between Naverre and King Tecarus, Basgiath are forced to merge the Riders and Infantry cadets together, to ensure a higher chance of survival.
Violet hadn’t seen Xaden in three years, ever since she had been forced to become a rider, and he had enrolled into the infantry quadrant. And it was just her luck, that they’d now been put within the same squad to work alongside each other whilst training.
They’d once been inseparable, with enough history and memories which Violet had forced herself to forget.
And surely being back within each other's proximity was only going to end up one of two ways.They’d either end up killing each other, or fall back into the same orbit they had been in three years ago. But Violet would be dammned if she let herself back into Xaden Riorson’s arms.

Excerpt:
“We don’t have to do this. Let’s just go back to sleep.” Xaden heaved Violet from her seated position on the bed into a swaddle in his lap.
“Yes. We do have to do this. It bothers you. This is important, Violet.”
Violet fixed her eyes at the window. The blanket. The wall. Anywhere, really, but Xaden’s too-understanding face. “It’s three years today since my dad died.”
“I’m sorry, Violet.”Series

Summary
Tairn snarls, his lip curling as he lowers his head to my level. “You are allowed to feel however you should!”
My chin trembles and more tears run to the edge of my chin as I furiously shake my head. I hear my father in my mind.
'Anger is the bane of the scribe. Don’t fight the problem, Violet, think it into submission. Anger misses details that someone as brilliant as you cannot afford to miss.'

Summary
The Prince pulled away from Violet and shot her a winning grin that made me want to punch his perfect teeth in. I don’t think I gave Violence nearly enough credit for not murdering Cat in the sparring ring if this is the way she was feeling. Then I watched as Halden tucked a hair behind Violet’s ear and I lost the little control I had left.
Shadows skittered below my feet as I clenched my fists at my side. Luckily, I was surrounded by my friends and Violet’s squad so that no untrustworthy eyes noticed. I ignored Imogen’s goading snort as Garrick raised an eyebrow at me. The only person who ever really saw me lose control like this was Violet. The few times I lost control in front of others were usually a result of Violet landing herself in danger again. Publicly losing my composure over jealousy was completely uncharted territory for me.

In which the Navarrian Royal Family arrives at Lilith Sorrengail's funeral and Xaden is shocked to find out who Violet's ex is.

Summary
“Our armies in Aretia have fallen, your highness.”
King Tauri rose from his throne in a swift movement. His hands gripped the fine clothes he wore as he cursed.
“Where is General Sorrengail?” He asked. He looked out of breath, even though he had barely moved.
“She’s returning to Navarre, with her husband,” he hesitated. “They… Fen Riorson—” Tauri growled at the mention of that name. “He… he has taken Sorrengail’s youngest, Violet, as hostage.”
“What?” he all but screamed. It couldn’t be… Could he know about what Violet truly was?
“He said she will stay in Aretia with them, to ensure you respect his demands as the new king of Tyrrendor.”
Or, the AU where Fen wins the Battle of Aretia and becomes king, Violet is forced to stay in Tyrrendor under the tutelage of Liam’s parents and has to marry Xaden. Oh, and Violet absolutely hates his guts

Summary
Then Brennan gives up, “I don’t have to listen to this crap, Violet,” and barges past me heading toward the door.
Screw that. I go for the throat.
“You know what? I’ve forgiven you for being Mom’s favorite. I’ve forgiven you for not coming home." He’s out the door, but I let my words follow him like a heart-seeking dagger. “But I’ll never forgive you for also being Dad’s favorite then leaving me to watch him die.”

Summary
Utilizing techniques similar to the ability of Riders to shield enables individuals to cope more efficiently with chronic pain. This type of masking allows those individuals to continue to provide a useful service to society so long as they maintain control of their mental faculties. Masters of this technique have been noted as having the capacity to tolerate pain that would have long since incapacitated and rendered insane others who are less resilient.
