Xaden’s Potential Third Signet: An Empyrean Theory Deep Dive

Welcome to Dear Dragon Reader, a special series from Dear Fantasy Reader podcast! Hosted by Karly, each episode dives deep into a specific topic from Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean Series. In this episode, Karly unpacks the theory that Xaden might possess a third signet-like ability connected to his rebellion relic. She explores Liam’s suspicious ability to wield ice, examines how Xaden’s relic appears unique compared to the other Marked Ones, discusses the implications of the Marked Ones' powers, and dives into the intriguing possibilities surrounding Garrick’s mysterious signet.
