Join squadmates Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly as they continue their deep dive into the hints, clues, and breadcrumbs Rebecca Yarros has dropped about Onyx Storm across interviews, panels, Q&As, & social media!

In this second part, they tackle everything from dragon society secrets and Andarna's mysterious origins to tantalizing hints about Violet's silver hair, her elusive second signet, and specific scenes including the final scene that Rebecca has been teasing since Fourth Wing.

They've combed through hours of interviews, panels, Q&As, & social media posts to curate the most important details so you don't have to. Get ready for chaotic theories, deep analysis, and the occasional emotional spiral—it's all here!

*All episodes include spoilers for the entirety of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame*
