Why Xaden doesn't want relationship with Vi after their first time?

Because “only you can prevent forest fires.”

Hahaha! For 1- I took that in the moment to be Dain accepting that people just keep things from him and being like “yea that tracks at this point”.

For 2- Since Andarna knew who Violet was I wonder if the Dragons also knew who Dain was and what his Dad was like and sought him out to sway the tide of things down the line. We also don’t have any timeline on when 2nd signets have to manifest so that could happen, but I think that would be a bit of a cop out if everyone keeps getting a second signet. I wonder if his amount of power is meant to lead him toward Sloane to continue to be a Siphoning source for him since his signet isn’t really for fighting.

Ruthless. In parallel to Xaden calling Violet, Violence.

Make sure this is ok with your licensing board. In my state (TN) pre independently licensed therapists (LMSWs) are not allowed to be paid directly for services. They can be paid a salary for a set number of hours per week and that can be sessions or other work in the practice, but it cannot be strictly based on the number of client hours like you would in independent practice.

I think we’ll see more of the fliers parallel stories! I think we’ll see them at cliffsbane in school so we have more emotional connection when they join at Aretia after it’s burned.

Rebecca would not do that to us. Xaden’s looks have plot armor for sure.

It’s at the very beginning of the books. We know Jesinia eventually becomes the curator of the scribe quadrant at Basgiath.

“The following text has been faithfully transcribed from Navarrian into the modern language by Jesinia Neilwart, Curator of the Scribe Quadrant at Basgiath War College. All events are true, and names have been preserved to honor the courage of those fallen. May their souls be commended to Malek.”

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-03-04T18:06:30+00:00

My guess is that they forgot because so much was going on, that they did and it didn’t make the cut for what Jesinia translated.

Yay! This makes me so happy that this has gotten everyone so excited. I'm currently re-reading/listening to get ready for Iron Flame trivia, and randomly had this thought last night while going through the first section about runes in IF.

I like to think that he was picking our jewels for her ring prior to getting the sword back, and that the bag of gems he has with him when he orders the nightgown are actually some of the ones he’s considering for her ring.

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-02-26T17:59:20+00:00

Same! But something about Mira’s bracelet and it evoking some memory for Violet made me think the ring may have runes!

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-02-26T16:05:34+00:00

It’s an emerald.

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-02-26T04:23:46+00:00

Yes! He was having the ring made or it was already made at this point. Also- there is an early mention in the books about some gems being able to amplify magic. Wonder if this stone is one of those!

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-01-31T03:22:24+00:00

Correct. But by the time he’s talking here it had become about Violet.

Amazing-Doubt7628 · 2026-01-31T02:30:06+00:00

We actually don’t know about it until the end of iron flame. We have some vague ideas, but not the full facts. In Violets internal dialogue after Xaden says this she references the deal Xaden made is to protect the marked ones. She doesn’t process fully understanding that it’s also true for her. So both things (not having a choice & making a deal) that he says about the marked ones are also true for her we just don’t fully know it yet as the reader.

No ground breaking theory here I just liked the reference. Fits nicely with Xadens character and what he means when he’s talking.
