As the highly anticipated release of Onyx Storm approaches, it’s essential to revisit key developments from Fourth Wing. Since its release in April 2023, readers have been immersed in the kingdom of Navarre, a realm safeguarded by mystical wards and a formidable military divided into quadrants. Among these, the Riders Quadrant takes center stage in Fourth Wing.
10 Violet Is The First Person To Bond Two Dragons
Fourth Wing’s Heroine Sets Herself Apart With Tairn & Andarna
Despite being labeled “weak”by her peers at Basgiath, Violet achieves the extraordinary feat of bonding with two dragons, setting a groundbreaking precedent. Following her defense of Andarna against Jack Barlowe and two other cadets, she garners the respect of Tairn, a seasoned Black Morningstartail dragon. As their relationship deepens, Tairn becomes fiercely protective of Violet. Alongside this formidable bond, she also connects with Andarna, a smaller Feathertail who possesses different strengths.
When Violet returns from the Threshing and reveals her unique bond with two dragons, the leaders of Navarre express their unease. Even the dragons of the Empyrean convene to discuss her unusual situation. Ultimately, they recognize and validate the bond, as once made, dragons have autonomy in their choices. This resolution marks the conclusion of the debate surrounding Violet’s unprecedented capability, hinting that her connections with Tairn and Andarna could pave the way for significant revelations in future narratives.
Being the first individual to bond with two dragons may fundamentally alter the dynamics of her powers compared to other riders, who typically face dire consequences when their dragon perishes. Given that Violet will possess two signets—one from each dragon—her situation is ripe for exploration in upcoming installments.
9 Feathertails Like Andarna Are Just Young Dragons
This Is Why They’re Small & Have Different Features
While many in Navarre assume that Feathertails like Andarna are inherently small, Violet and her ally Xaden uncover the truth: Feathertails are merely immature dragons. This revelation emphasizes that Andarna’s size and characteristics, including her delicate feathers and absence of claws, are a result of her youth and will evolve as she matures. Aware of the potential dangers of exposing this secret, Violet and Xaden decide to maintain silence about the true nature of Feathertails to prevent exploitation by humans seeking to learn more about them.
The existence of these younger dragons raises concern that Navarre may attempt to exert control over them, something impossible with their more established counterparts. Violet’s father had been researching Feathertails before his untimely death, suggesting that their significance will be pivotal in the upcoming Onyx Storm and the series’ continuation.
8 Tairn And Sgaeyl’s Mating Bond Connects Violet And Xaden
The Two Have The Ability To Communicate Mentally & Their Lives Are Intertwined
The relationship between Violet and Xaden is deeply influenced by the mating bond of their respective dragons, Tairn and Sgaeyl. This connection allows the two to communicate telepathically, fostering intimacy between them as they experience the growing danger surrounding them. Their bond suggests an intertwined fate: the survival of one may hinge upon the other’s. This complexity could escalate into a serious concern, especially in light of the dramatic twists in Iron Flame and the perilous adventures they might encounter in the future.
7 Violet Discovers Her Lightning Wielding Signet During The War Games
Her Power From Tairn Could Make Her One Of Fourth Wing’s Strongest Characters
In the War Games, Violet ultimately discovers her formidable ability to wield lightning, marking a significant turning point. Initially hinted at during an intense moment shared with Xaden, it is during a confrontation with Jack Barlowe that she fully unleashes this power. Recognized as the first individual with a lightning signet in centuries, Violet’s emerging abilities could position her among Navarre’s most formidable dragon riders, provided she learns to master them.
However, controlling this power presents its own challenges, as her ability fluctuates throughout the narrative. Its significance is underscored during battles, where even venin show a keen interest in her capabilities, highlighting her value on the battlefield.
6 Navarre’s Government Hid The Existence Of Venin From Its People
This Is The Main Conflict Of The Empyrean Series
The existence of the venin serves as a crucial underpinning to Fourth Wing and the entire Empyrean Series. Initially perceived as folklore to frighten children, these entities are revealed as real threats. Violet’s encounter with their existence is a wake-up call, exposing how Navarre has constructed a facade surrounding these creatures. The kingdom’s wards defend against venin’s powers, yet this protection comes at a cost, managing to shield its own citizens while sacrificing those beyond its borders. This dynamic fuels subplot tensions, particularly regarding the gryphon riders and the Tyrrish Rebellion.
The conclusion of Fourth Wing firmly positions the venin as an imminent danger that Violet and Xaden must navigate in the future, promising further conflict and intrigue.
5 Violet’s Father Knew About The Venin & Wyvern Before He Died
There’s More Going On With Mr. Sorrengail
The disclosure regarding the venin raises significant questions regarding Violet’s father and his knowledge of their existence. His awareness, noted in a letter left in The Fables of the Barren, hints at deeper historical truths that Navarre has obscured. His work in the Scribe Quadrant likely armed him with insights about these beings. Speculation surrounding the true cause of his death proliferates, raising doubts about whether it was merely fate or something more sinister.
His knowledge could prove pivotal in navigating the impending war against the venin, ensuring his character remains integral to the unfolding narrative despite his absence.

Violet’s Former Best Friend Has Explaining To Do After Fourth Wing
Dain’s actions cast a shadow over his relationship with Violet upon the conclusion of Fourth Wing. His betrayal, particularly the use of his signet on her without consent, raises both moral and narrative stakes for future developments. With Violet and Xaden surviving the events, their return to Basgiath implies that Dain will have to grapple with the consequences of his choices, and the nature of his relationship with Violet may undergo critical examination moving forward.
3 Colonel Aetos Betrayed Xaden & The Marked Ones At The End Of Fourth Wing
Dain’s Father Looks A Lot More Sinister
Colonel Aetos emerges as a distinctly malevolent figure by the end of Fourth Wing, intentionally endangering Xaden and the Marked Ones by implicating them in a venin attack. His underhanded strategy underscores his disregard for those marginalized within Navarre. Notably, there are lingering questions about Aetos’s foresight concerning the venin’s movements, adding layers of intrigue to his character as the series progresses.
2 General Melgren’s Doesn’t Work When Three Or More People With Rebellion Relics Gather
This Vulnerability Will Likely Be Important Later On
The conclusion of Fourth Wing unveils critical information regarding General Melgren’s signet, notably its ineffectiveness when three or more Marked Ones converge. This critical vulnerability may play a crucial role in future confrontations, establishing a strategic foundation for the Marked Ones against one of Navarre’s most powerful leaders. Future narrative arcs may focus on outsmarting Melgren as his influence casts a long shadow across the conflict at hand.
1 Brennan Sorrengail Survived The Tyrrish Rebellion
Violet’s Brother Isn’t Dead, Like She Previously Believed
In a stunning revelation, the climax of Fourth Wing confirms that Violet’s brother, Brennan, is alive—a shocking contrast to her belief that he had perished in the Tyrrish Rebellion. His intervention to save her life on the battlefield and his invitation to join “the rebellion”significantly expand the narrative landscape. However, the story remains mum about his journey since the turmoil surrounding the rebellion, leaving ample room for speculation as
