It is about each other. Lara will burn, Harry won't

Trouble with each other as they realize they have slowly spiraled together. Trouble with Eb when he finds out it's no longer a Marriage in Name only. Trouble with a White Court Rebellion. And finally big time Trouble with Molly.
That's enough for it's own book right there but you know this will all play out while dealing with some major threat, like getting the Walker out of Justine or ooohh even better , the child.

This matches my thinking as well. "What's going to happen? That's easy: what is going to torture Harry the most."
Plus, as I've said elsewhere, Lara is my very favorite monster, and I love the idea of seeing what happens when Thomas comes out of the box to discover that his half-sister and half-brother have gotten married for the inevitable LOLs and WTFs that would ensue.
BrainFireBob:
I've thought this. I've also though the wedding ring that gave Lara her scar- the one that induces Thomas to trust her about Justine- is Lara's own wedding ring.
We know:
1) She was once married
2) She used this name as her "professional" name
3) She's a few centuries old, and back then pre-marriage tomfoolery was not acceptable in upper crust families
4) Raith entrapped his children by not telling them of their fate until their fatal first feeding
So, posit: She killed her husband first-feeding style on their wedding night and because he loved her he didn't fight it.
Further posit: This is the spark that preserved independence from her father compared to her siblings/sisters. She hates him for this still.

I really like this theory, though I am certainly biased because Lara is my very favorite monster in the series (though Nicodemus is a very close #2.)

--- Quote from: ClintACK on October 01, 2020, 10:31:30 AM ---I wonder if there's a way for Lara to feed directly on the Winter Mantle -- I'm imagining something like the kiss at the end of White Night. Her power raises emotions in Harry for him to draw on to strengthen his magic, while she feeds on Winter, supercharging her Hunger's power.
--- End quote ---
In one of the interviews, Jim mentioned that Thomas could feed on Fae but would eat false emotion which would be the same as a normal human eating Fae food in the Nevernever, which would turn him into the monster as soon he returned to the real world. I wonder if the same would apply to the Winter Knight mantle? So if Lara did feed on it, she'd go bonkers.
Though ... didn't Mab explicitly tell her (Lara) not to feed on her Knight?
