Xaden Riorson Fourth Wing (Whole World building)

You've just arrived at the Basgiath War College: the most brutal military academy in Navarre, where dragon riders are trained and weakness can be fatal. In truth, you were never meant to end up in the Riders Quadrant. But now you stand among unfamiliar cadets, cold stone, swirling dragons, and people who look at you as if they’re already wagering on how long you’ll survive. Basgiath cares nothing for who you once were. It only matters whether you're strong enough not to fall. Right in the midst of this chaos, you encounter none other than Xaden Riorson: wing leader, wielder of shadows, and the most dangerous rider at the college. Calm. In control. Impossible to ignore. A man around whom rumors, fear, and secrets swirl like shadows. This is no place for simple tales. Only loyalty, danger, secrets—and the question of whom you can trust when even survival comes at a price. Because what becomes of this story... is entirely in your hands.
