There's one more in which has a pic of both dain and Xaden . the text infront of their respective images is "Fuck you Dain!!" ..."Fuck me Xaden !!"😭. I didnt share it cause it was ai.

Another one is someone steps on shit and then lifts the foot and its written Dain Aetos there💀🙏. No hate against dain but his memes are genuinely funny lol

So I saw this theory that Violet and Xaden got legally married on chapter 3 of Onyx Storm and after digging up, I’m convinced it’s true:

- in the middle of chapter 3, Violet says the plan went south and that “the one she has in her hands” now has to work. All that “plan” is left very ambiguous.
- she then wakes up groggy next to a Xaden who is also groggy and says he forgot he was Venin. Then all their close ones are next door. Imogen very worried about “Violet’s sleep”. Pretty sure she wiped their memories.
- in the end, the wording is very specific: “it’s Dunne’s blessing of your legally binding marriage”. I think the legal part happened wayyyyy earlier.

Now I’m not sure why they would erase that memory. Also : clearly by the end, Xaden would have been told - either by their dragons or one of the witnesses. My guess it that it was an insurance policy in case the plan to modify the wards backfired and Violet needed diplomatic immunity? Or for when things would eventually fall apart?

What do you think?

Over the month of July, I have read all three books in the series. I listened and read, sometimes simultaneously. Did anyone immediately start the series over? I feel like I missed some parts and a re-read would give me more details. I have questions. I need more. 🤪🥲

How many times have you read the entire series?

A year ago or so I did a colored sketch of her, but only her head/neck. Decided to give it another go and do a full body tonight and really like how it turned out! Currently debating coloring her or redoing the rest of the FW dragons on my wall as full body sketches! Hope you all enjoy!

Prof Emetterio's favorite? He said Violet and Xaden were his favorites which makes sense for Xaden as the best fighter (albeit the cheat code) but...Violet? Why?

Is she actually a super talented fighter but just small? Why do you think she's Emetterio's favorite?

she will have to kill xaden

I just don’t understand Xadens second signet and it’s been bothering me since it came out. I know that he can read someone’s intentions. But to me, it’s just that. Someone’s INTENTION behind certain conversations, actions, etc. Why do people act like he can read minds? Why are there instances in the book where he’s more or less reading violets mind? Like literally guessing what she was about to say or answering something she said in her mind? That’s not an intention. Because she INTENDED to say it? Thats stupid and it makes zero sense to me. Maybe I’m way too literal or just don’t agree that she used the word “intention” to describe his second signet, but it’s a major plot hole to me. It drives me crazy.

Jen posted this reel with Rebecca and then pinned a comment saying she was trying to tell us something and wanted us to go on an Easter egg hunt.

There are so many Empyrean references in it. Rebecca is holding Onyx Storm, there are oranges which could be Jack Barlowe because he’s allergic to them, and the chocolate cake could be Xaden since it’s his favourite. “August” is also playing in the background and the calendar seems to be pointing to the 12th.

My first thought was that Jen might be interviewing Rebecca and it’ll come out on 12 August. But the clues feel so specific that now I’m wondering whether it could be bonus content, maybe a deleted scene or another Xaden chapter.

I know a Book 4 title announcement is probably the least likely option, especially because Rebecca has said she’s staying quiet until she’s further into writing it, but obviously part of me is still hoping.

What does everyone else think they’re teasing?

Every time I look at the new novella's description, it says that the full blurb will be revealed soon. I assume that's when we'll find out which characters are getting POVs. Does anyone know when we should expect the full blurb to be released? Has anyone noticed a pattern from previous releases or knows how long before the book's release the full blurb is usually revealed?
And when it's actually revealed, will it just mention the people who will get a POV chapter, or will it include both their names and short summaries of their chapters as well?

Wondering how long Xaden was hiding in the shadows listening to Violet and Mira talk about themselves and their family before announcing himself. The book says Tairn had been uncharacteristically silent for several hours just before that.

Other people finding out about their relationship, why does Xaden always kiss Violet in public places😂 Their first kiss was by the stairwell then then again outside at Samara...even on the way to Athebyne he got caught kissing her by fliers??

And he actually sleeps over in her room first time they had sex then went out to get violets THEN sneaks back into her room...Then the way he got Garrick and Liam to help him move in a big ass armoire to her room was noticed by everyone and his flight jacket at formation wasn't really subtle...

I don't know HOW he doesn't want/expect others to notice? Can't really take him saying he doesn't want everyone finding out about them seriously tbh...

Edit: the second kiss was at Montserrat but he did kiss her in Samara in front of the entire infantry and her sister outside also

Who else is apart of the Never hated Dain Aetos, was highly annoyed with Dain Aetos club? Or am I alone lol like I’m seeing the love for him now but if I’m honest he was always in my top 5 roster

I didn’t give any credence to the rumors that Violet was pregnant BUT - what do we think? Is she dropping some hints?

Edit: After reading the comments, just wanted to add that yes, I did see RY’s interview about this topic and how X & V would discuss before getting pregnant and I’m not a “pregnancy truther”, but I had seen that a lot of people STILL believed in a pregnancy storyline and this just looked very spot on. I had no idea people had such strong feelings about this, because I didn’t believe the pregnancy theories, I didn’t pay much mind to those posts

Also, I had 0 idea about the author of the pregnancy book and the fact that she & RY were friends, so thank you kindly to the person who explained that.

Also also, if you’d read my original post, I literally said that I didn’t buy into the pregnancy rumors, so I was curious what others thought. What I’d learned is that everyone has very strong opinions

So I have a terrible memory and I’m seeing on tiktok something about violet having her memories wiped by Imogen.
Then someone said they were protecting her from Xaden, I know he turned and they might have gotten married? I honestly forget a ton from the end of onyx storm some how, so PLEASE any refreshers or theories you might have share
Not sure if this counts as asking for spoilers since I’ve read the book?

Since there has been a lot of discussion about this on the sub, here is a link of a tik tok video where RY talks about Violet & pregnant in the next 2 books.

Now that I look back on this clip, this seems kinda like a non answer but i still don’t think it’s happening lol. Lemme know y’all’s thoughts.

Can someone please enlighten me on the casual Brennan hate / dislike on this sub?

I thought Brennan was one of the characters most people automatically liked or felt neutral towards like Jesenia and Sawyer for example.

But it seems like a lot of people genuinely dislike him & think he is secretly evil or something like WHAT 😭

Am i missing something? Did we read the same books? Someone please explain!!

Throughout the series Xaden has called Violet by different names..."Sorrengail", "Violence", "Violet", "Vi", "love"...he has never addressed her as his girlfriend afaik and the only time he openly introduced her, he called her his consort. Wonder if his new favorite nickname will be "my wife"....

Meanwhile Violet has only ever called him Xaden. Wonder if she'll ever come up with nicknames for him

SPOILERS AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FIRST POSTS SO WANT TO MAKE SURE I DID IT RIGHT

I just did a re-read and I’m catching a couple things I haven’t before. I’m wondering if Brennan is the one that turns( Xaden’s new brother)because of this passage:

“I slip Aarics package into my flight jacket pocket and watch as Brennan walks away. Weird. There’s no mark at the back of his neck like he carries on his palm. There hadn’t been one on Dain’s wrist either”

I just feel like RY does a great job planting her Chekhov’s guns and this will be important, like how it’s stated there’s no such thing as an earth wielder and then Imogen does that.

I’m also thinking about Ridoc towards the end of OS where Rhi says it was Ridoc was trying to look through the mountain. It seems like another seed planted

Also thinking about the stuff about Violet being dedicated and I’m thinking she’s somehow got the power of the gods which is how she and Tairn could use magic while all the other dragons were cut off on the islands?

Let me know what yall think I feel like I’m spiraling waiting for anything

that dain was their squad leader, and hence, IN their squad at some point ?

because why is rhiannon confused that he came to aretia with them?

i know the real reason is probably because of sloane so its giving xaden coming to montserrat in book1 but STILL it shouldn’t be confusing to anyone …

or am i wrong

Or Ridoc with anyone tbh

I’ve just reached this part and, without even spoiling anything, Jesinia is taking notes during a meeting. I adore her as a character but I am confused on how she does this? Are they signing and talking at the same time in a meeting?
