We are BACK this week to talk about the FIERCEST dragon on the continent and her stubborn, shadow wielding son - Sgaeyl and Xaden! We’re breaking down what exactly went down with Alic, Xaden, and Molvic; laying out all the possible scenarios for Xaden’s family tree; and pondering what exactly Xaden’s mission is and how Sgaeyl fits into it. Plus - the Baran name reveal, Fen kept Xaden away from aristocrats, and did Kaori have a hand in developing Xaden’s second signet?
As usual, you’ll be getting theories and updates galore in this week’s episode. And after this one, you’ll be getting an episode for each chapter. We are still working out exactly what that will look like, but we think each of these stories deserves their own episode. So hang with us as we uncover every clue, go down every rabbit hole, and spiral together during our Threshing Day Coverage!
