Thomas Crack Prediction

<< < (3/3)

--- Quote from: Bad Alias on May 28, 2020, 01:18:36 AM ---It could be that Lara dies in Peace Talks or Battle Ground saving Thomas. Then Lord Raith is freed from Lara and chaos breaks out because he's insane by now. If you recall, Thomas was planning on either dying or ending up in charge in Blood Rites.

I’d be very interested in how Lord Raith would behave if left to his own devices at this point. Certainly nothing good would come from it except maybe some interesting information he would never reveal otherwise. This whole hypothetical scenario is one I’d love to read but would hate for it to happen!

toodeep:
Thomas could never run the white court on his own.  His head just isn't in the game, and it would put too large a target on all of his loved ones.  To be a successful member of the court you need to either have no loved ones, or maybe one ones in the court as well.  If Thomas were to become a king all on his own, too many would come after Justine or Harry.  I agree with Con that a partnership is more likely, where Thomas is the official king, but Lara remains the power behind the throne with people generally trying to come between them to come to power, rather than coming at Thomas. 

I do think we are overdue for another "white court" book, and I suspect that we will learn that either Lord Wraith has managed to hold some stuff back and work against Lara and see what happens when his plans come to fruition, or that Lara has been corrupted by whatever she learned from him/his allies and needs to be dealt with.  I think the former much more likely, since we still have Lord Wraith's magical immunity to deal with and learn more about, ideally in a hands on way, rather than just Lara dropping info on it somewhere.  I think both Lara and Marcone will continue to be the frenemies that Harry can trust  throughout the books to (generally) help protect humanity.
