In Onyx Storm

Xaden has turned venin but has not yet channeled his power, and Violet searches for a cure. He is reinstated as Duke of Tyrrendor and given a seat on the Senarium. On the island of Hedotis the squad realises that Xaden's mother is married to one of the members of its ruling triumvirate. In Deverelli he channels his venin power to kill the threats when King Courtlyn orders their deaths, and in the final battle he gives in to channeling to kill as many venin as he can. At the end Violet finds a marriage certificate showing the two have married.
