Onyx Storm: Chapter 53

And we're back, baby.

The chapter opens with this ominous quote from Violet's mom's journal:

Asher returned today. Gods help us if anyone finds out. I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive him for what he’s done to her.

( yarros please. lock in for like one chapter )

Onyx Storm: Chapter 54-55

Violet is lying in bed in a heap of depression in the wake of Andarna's departure.
( me too violet. me too )

Onyx Storm: Chapter 56-57

We enter Violet's dream, which is really Xaden's dream. This time it's obvious whose dream it is, which makes all the previous dreams where it was NOT obvious extremely funny. Yarros really thought she was foreshadowing, huh.

Violet is able to control the dream better this time, but that attracts the attention of the venin Sage. She has to hurt herself to escape the dream, but as she does she realizes something.
