The tension is sky-high this week as we dive into chapters 26 to 30 of Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros! Join us as Violet and Xaden’s diplomatic dinner turns into a full-on fight scene (because of course it does), shadows snap necks, Andarna shows off her very careful panther-handling skills, and Courtlyn learns why you don’t mess with dragon riders.

But wait—there’s more! Family secrets come crashing into the mission when Aaric makes his surprise entrance (sorry Halden ), Mira keeps dropping half-truths, and the squad heads into Unnbriel where trial by combat isn’t just tradition—it’s policy. Also: jungle humidity, magical rocks, awkward sister talks, and one very tense wake-up call in the clearing.
