Could Harry be the next White King?

--- Quote from: Snark Knight on January 28, 2021, 02:19:46 AM ---I was thinking of when Lara first showed up in BR and Harry didn't initially recognize her being White Court because she used her married name for her porn star persona. Implication being the husband hadn't lasted long, but she kept the name as an alias.

My guess on that was Lord Raith arranged a marriage back in the day. The marriage didn't last past the wedding night.

He's going to at least have the soft power that being close a leader always gives someone.

I wonder if she'd been a virgin, and that was her first kill? Also I remember in an earlier book her father brought up a doctor she was with (I think), and she seemed upset by it. I'm wondering if there is more to her. Could some of ther coldness be a mask she needs to wear because if she shows weakness it could get her killed? Maybe she does have a good side.

That's what I'm thinking.

BR when Inari was injured. I read that as Lord Raith didn't value mortals much at all beyond food. Lara did. I think this is born out in WN when Harry shows up to Raith Manor and somebody has been listening to mortal advice. The somebody is pretty obviously Lara.

I kind of do think she's a lot more "good" or "human" than Lord Raith or maybe even the typical White Court vampire, but still much less so than Thomas was before Shagnasty got a hold of him. But I didn't get that from that scene.

It doesn't matter if Harry actually gets eaten. But that is still his status. Any power he achieves comes from Lara. Kill her and the alliance is moot in any case.

The point is Harry is not in that marriage just for himself, he represents Winter. That is his status.
