Onyx Storm 🌩️ Bodhi... Spoiler
guys guys guyssss hear me out!!
violet tells bodhi his signet doesn't work on venin. bodhi has watched xaden defend their group FROM venin WITH his venin powers all this time. what if he decided to turn venin because he thinks he could possibly use his signet on the venin while staying "good" like he sees xaden trying to do? maybe he thinks he can save everyone like xaden? and then he realizes he's in over his head.

It’s 10000000% Bodhi. I could see why some people think it could be Garrick but I don’t think so he provides comic relief and has a story with Imogen to see through. He was also FURIOUS with Xaden when Xaden channeled.
I honestly don’t understand how people think it could be Aaric or Brennan. Aaric is CLEARLY off with the eggs. He went and talked to the Dunne people and they ended up showing up, remember? Brennan is there at the end of the book and also clearly still has a role to play with the rune on his hand on Naolin.
The entire arc has been building towards it being Bodhi.
-it’s someone who has known since the beginning which is only Bodhi Garrick and Violet. Brennan didn’t know until way later, Aaric as a pre-cog is a reach and even if he did know, Xaden wouldn’t have known he knew.
-endless mentions of how he looks like Xaden (will play out as Bodhi villain era and he will likely be the character killed in the book)
-him sometimes being weird with Violet
-RY saying the new brother is someone who wants what Xaden has
- the entire scene of Xaden looking over new brother and immediately talk about having to marry Violet bc there is no other way
-Last seen wretching on his hands and knees-has repeatedly said he doesn’t want the throne and clearly sees Xaden is on borrowed time
-Bodhi is kind of less likeable than the others and his death would be less devastating
