"Twelve Months" Cover Released

--- Quote ---The sigil on the cover that was (apparently) created by Harry maybe something new that Harry learns to add to his magical skills and I think that would be pretty cool.

Indeed it would be, question becomes is it his own?  Or someone else's that he used?  Another possibility is remember in Cold Days the first time Harry went down into the actual prison "caves" with Alfred?  Harry had swiped Bob from Butters because he needed him to translate the information that Alfred was trying to give to him about the island and the prisoners?  I remember Alfred doing a number of "security things" to open the way down into the caves that were quite complicated.  I seem to remember glowing patterns in the rock as he did that.  If I remembered that correctly, it is possible that Harry no longer needs Alfred for this, that he now is able to into any part of the prison without his help. If I am right, could a possible reason be to get around security to talk to Thomas?  Or all the cover represents is Harry now has full mastery of Demonreach, which could be a real game changer now that he has been declared "out law" by the White Council.

The more I look at the cover the more I get the feeling that Harry may have to do something drastic to release Thomas. Demonreach feels like the kind of jail that there was never a key to throw away. Other than his daughter and now his new niece/nephew who is there that Harry is willing to blow up the world and then roast marshmallows with. And who better than lash to help him do it

Dina:
I have seen the cover and forgot to come to comment. I found it quite meh. I particularly don't like Harry's face, I rather have his face hidden by shadows. But I do like Harry generally demeanor. It seems that he is sad but absolutely resolute to do something, and we all know how stubborn he can be.
But my first impression was that the crystals and stuff were Demonreach or below it, in the water. Perhaps is some part of the Demonreach prison and it will be related with Harry retrieving Thomas.

I think it was in Peace Talks, Harry found Alfred standing right behind him when he wasn't expecting Alfred to be there.  Harry had one of those throw away thoughts that has no impact on the immediate situation, but you know it will be significant later in the story.

I don't feel like looking for the exact quote.  Harry was initially startled, but then began to wonder if Alfred had his own agenda, something that he wasn't sharing with Harry.  Talk about an example of Chekov's gun, you know it will get fired later on.

We don't have enough information to connect all the dots, but we can guess that at some point in the future Harry may have to circumvent Alfred and his intentions.

 

Dina:
Yes, that intuition moment will definitely come back.
