  Onyx Storm | Duchess of Chaos

  <p><b>It’s here—the final chapters of </b><b>Onyx Storm</b><b>, and Rebecca Yarros did NOT let us breathe.

  <p> <b>This week on Shadow and Starlight, we’re diving into Chapters 34-45 of </b><b>Onyx Storm</b><b>, where awkward family reunions, condescending elites, and literal poisonings set the stage for chaos. Xaden’s mom attempts a sugary apology (too little, too late), the Triumvirate suggests breaking up our favorite power couple (as if), and Garrick's biggest weakness is cake. The Quest Squad barely makes it out alive, only to face more heartbreak, betrayal, and a dumpster fire meeting with the most judgmental dragons in existence.
