What is “Threshing Day” by Rebecca Yarros about?

“Threshing Day” will feature 13 stories from Threshing Day. While no official synopsis has been released yet, Rebecca has confirmed that Xaden’s story will be included, and that the stories will follow our “favorite characters.” It’s likely that the stories will expand past Violet’s classmates that we know from the series, and will potentially share the Threshing Day stories of Violet’s family and other adults that we see (or even don’t see…) in the main stories.
