Why Violet's dad was researching feathertails, how that will be important to stop the venin, who took out the dad, and Jack's connection to the research

A deep-dive on the dragons, how the hatching grounds are important, the ties to the Riorson family, and the power struggle with the humans

The potential origins of the venin, their motivations, the nightmares, the connection to Xadens grandfather, and why Navarre created the venin lures

This week is a deep dive on the possibilities of the marked ones relics, including a potential secret unknown signet for Xaden.

All the clues we missed about what Violet's first signet can do and all of the evidence for Violet's second signet
