We’re diving into Chapters 36 to 38 of Onyx Storm and this one’s a rollercoaster. Secret correspondences, poisoned sons, ancient gifts, and a theory so wild about Molvic… we’re not even sure if we’ve gone too far. (We haven’t.) If you thought the plot was simmering before, now it’s at a full boil.

Here’s everything we get into this episode:

🧠 How did Cradh know something was wrong with Garrick when no magic was involved? His instincts might not be human…

💀 Why did Talia say her son was poisoned while talking about Garrick? We unpack what this might really mean—and it changes everything.

📜 What we really think about the recovered correspondence—who wrote it, what it tells us, and what it might be hiding.

🩸 Ridoc wasn’t bleeding. You heard us. Could he be a Sage? And if so, what does that mean for the squad?

🕰️ How did Daddy Sorrengail know everything Violet would eventually find out? We circle back to his powers and the biggest question of all: how far ahead was he playing?

👀 Does Dain know about Xaden being a Venin? This moment felt loaded… and we’re not convinced Dain’s as clueless as he acts.

🌊 The people of Zalnya know how to use magic on the island—but where did that knowledge come from? And how does it differ from Basgiath teachings?

🗣️ Aaric’s suddenly a language expert. Has he always been gifted in linguistics or is this something… newer?

🤯 Our completely unhinged theory about Molvic. No spoilers here, but brace yourself—because once you hear it, you won’t unhear it.

🎁 Our takeaways from Zihnal’s gifts to each character—these weren’t just presents, they were foreshadowing. And we think we’ve figured out what each one means.

We’re getting dangerously close to the final stretch of Onyx Storm—and trust us, the theories are only getting spicier.
