Onyx Storm crack theories

Violet has a Harry/Voldemort type relationship with venin... because she is one (at least partially)

  • Violet’s hair is like Harry’s scar- and connects her to venin and their minds/what they’re thinking

  • I think the dreams Violet had were either actually Xaden’s dreams (if ONLY they communicated about this!) or she was peering into the venin’s mind as it was projecting into Xaden’s nightmares

  • Violet’s hair is no coincidence and definitely a signal that she is connected to venin in some way

Rhiannon will turn on Violet

  • It is said in both Iron Flame and Fourth Wing, “I wouldn’t want to get on her bad side” about Rhiannon. Ridoc and Sawyer both say it. Could be a sign of her loyalty to those she loves or it could be a foreshadowing that she’ll eventually turn on the revolution. She also may lose support if she ever finds out Xaden is venin

Violet’s dad was venin and Lilith maybe killed him

  • That letter from Nolon to Lilith at the end of Iron Flame! Could’ve been about Violet being venin but I’m thinking it was about papa Sorrengail

  • Lilith says a couple of times in Iron Flame to Brennan, Mira and Violet that they couldn’t understand the sacrifices she’s made because they don’t have children... just what all did Lilith do for them?!

  • This could also be something Violet uncoves in her dad’s research and then wants to break that cycle with Xaden. Instead of eliminating him like her mom might’ve done to her dad, it could further motivate her to find a cure

  • It could also help explain Lilith’s cold heartedness ... even though no explanation justifies her making the children of those she executed watch those executions, the physical abuse to Xaden and a milllion other evil things she did

Dain is venin

  • At the end of Iron Flame, a venin touches Dain. Violet assumes he’s being drained, but what if he wasn’t and is now venin? We know that venin can speak mind to mind so who knows what happened unless Dain explains or we get his POV

  • There’s also quite a bit of speculation about the mention of Dain’s dragon’s breath being connected to venin . It’s both hilarious and impressive to me the level of detail people pick up on!

Cat and Mira will get together

  • There isn’t really evidence for this but I think it would be cool!

  • There are comparisons to Cat and Mira and Xaden being alike in their ruthlessness, cunning, and boldness

  • Even though Cat didn’t love Xaden, she is drawn to his power and presence, which Mira also exudes. I would be interested to see now that Cat has chilled TF out on Violet, if maybe Mira and Cat form a connection

  • Mira also seems like she would be drawn to someone who is headstrong and there isn’t another person like that that’s been mentioned besides Cat! Not that Mira needs a romantic interest, it would just be interesting!
