Join your favorite Quest Squadmates—Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly—as they dive deep into chapters 58-62 of Rebecca Yarros' captivating fantasy, Onyx Storm!

 

First, they'll journey into the Archives Vault for a quick chapter recap before diving into an engaging, in-depth discussion and analysis of key moments, sharing transformative insights from Yarros’ recent Q&As, and drawing thoughtful connections to earlier books in the Empyrean series.

Next, it's time for a check-in at the Healer’s Quadrant, where they'll take the temperature of beloved characters, share favorite moments, and spotlight standout quotes that made these chapters unforgettable.

Then, the squad will visit the Scribe’s Quadrant for an Epigraph Analysis, deciphering hidden meanings and intriguing hints woven expertly by Yarros.

Afterward, they'll head to the Hatching Ground to reveal key Easter eggs and subtle foreshadowing, piecing together clues that hint at what's to come.

Finally, they'll round things off with a thrilling Signet Sparring session, honing their precognitive abilities to theorize about all things Empyrean. Expect lively debates, bold predictions, and plenty of laughter along the way!

Grab your leathers & bookmarks, Quest Squad, we have dragons to ride!
