So , just finished Iron flame and all I have to say is … what the actual fuck. I’ve made up a few theory’s for the next book , What’s gonna happen to Xaden , everything that’s going on with Andarna and Violets second signet.
(Might be a long one guys)
1.Venin, thoughts and ofc Xaden
Obviously this came as such a shock I was actually dying , but then I read the bit at the top of the page. It’s a correspondence between Nolan and General sorrengail that says that she’s requested research to be done on finding a cure for venin. Not how to kill them like the general in her should be asking , no. She asks for a cure. This makes me think that it’s personal. I believe that her husband got turned venin somehow and she was desperate for a cure. They didn’t find any. This would explain why he taught Violet all about them with the Fables and how nobody else had that book. I think the book was found in a research attempt to cure him but it was no good so he gave it to Violet. To add onto this I thought about Violets dad being Sage , it could work and would be a good twist but I don’t know if it’ll go that way in the next book.
What I think is going to happen to Xaden is that he will eventually be cured , I’m thinking him and Violet argue for a few pages and then he breaks up with her to protect her from him maybe , then about halfway through she’s that desperate that she finds it somehow. (I’m going to come back to how) . I also think that his and his dragons bond will weaken which will cause a lot of stress and turmoil. In the next book I also think we’ll see and appearance from Xadens Mother , she may just be Venin as well. I think this because Violet and Xaden both had the dreams , wether this was just Violet somehow in Xadens or not. Maybe both of their only parents are Venin and they want them to join them, that’s why Xaden said that they were here for him but Violet also had an encounter with one who wanted to take her to see someone important.
Oh also I think maybe Violet has some sort of immunity to Venin , I’m not saying that she does but it’s a theory. Can you be half-Venin. This would only work if her father was Venin like I said but it would also explain the silver hair.
2.Andarna and Violets signet
So , Andarna can quite obviously blend into her surroundings. She did it with the boulder and with Tairn. I think that she can do this by choice and is naturally black which is why Tairn didn’t notice. She is the seventh type of dragon , the only one of her kind. So that would mean that she would give Violet a very special and rare signet , no?.
Got a couple of theory’s on this one:
She can speak/raise the dead — this is a good one. Everyone remembers seeing Liam in those few interrogation chapters , Violet thought she was hallucinating but it would have to be a pretty strong hallucination wouldn’t it?. If she could speak to the dead it would make sense why he was there and it was at a very low point for her. A point of need. This could also be worked into a few theory’s I’ve got for the next book . Like we know she gonna try and find a cure for Xaden , it’s probably not gonna be in any of the Archives . What if the only answers are with someone long gone. Boom, she can speak to the dead.
Another one is that she can amplify signets — lots of examples for this one. Do u remember when Mira said that she couldn’t shield this far from the wards but when Violet needed her to, she could. Also when Rhi pulled Violets dagger through the wall when Varrish was searching her and she’d never been able to do that before but when it was going to get Violet killed , she could. There was another example that I remember thinking about including Ridoc and an Ice wall that he made against Dragon fire but I can’t remember exactly what happens all I know is that as a second year he wouldn’t have ever been able to do that. It would make sense for this to be her second signet because I swear I read somewhere that the author said that her signet is in the book.
Now this one is my favourite but the least likely—she has more than one second signet. I’ve heard someone say this so I thought I would add it in, I didn’t come up with this so I have no idea how it would work but I thought it was pretty cool. With Andarna being able to be multicoloured , basically anything she chooses to be it was said that Violet could do this too. Although I do think if this was right the two powers that I said should surely be in there. I also read somewhere that in an extra chapter to fourth wing Xaden talks of Violets eyes changing colours, which really kind of backs this up. I don’t know if that’s true cause I haven’t read the extra chapter but lmk.
In the next book we’re probably going to get sone answers, some fights between Xaden and Violet , more death and definitely more pain.
If yous have anymore suggestions I’d love to hear them I’m a stickler for a good fan theory.
