What clues will we get from Peace Talks?

[raidem]

We should be getting Peace Talks released later this year I believe.

There will be a main plot with the accord members coming together to reach a peace settlement, all the while stabbing each other in the back, in the front...
There will be answers within the main plot, but we should be getting clues to some longstanding questions.
What longstanding questions do you think will be either answered or further clued upon.
Any clues you want to see in the next book.  What plot issues are you wanting to see wrapped up and/or expect to see wrapped up in PT.

I'd love to get an update on Helen Demeter and Amanda Beckitt.

I expect Lord Raith to be replaceed by Thomas with Lara still as leader.

[Rasins]

I'd like to see the scene where Ebenzar and Thomas come face to face.

I'd like to see the scene where Ebenzar and Thomas come face to face.

Or Eb, and Lord Raith....

[Mira]

   I just want the book to be focused and move things on, perhaps tie up some annoying loose ends if possible...  My greatest hope is that is doesn't feel rushed and like Jim is basically on auto pilot writing about a familiar character and story line..  This has been a problem in my opinion in his latest short stories.

I'd like to see the scene where Ebenzar and Thomas come face to face.

I'm looking forward to Molly revealing to her parents that she's the Winter Lady

[Ananda]

I’m predicting some black court shenanigans in an effort to get the white court some comeuppance. This may involve a setup involving Old Man Ebenezer.

[wardenferry419]

The SC reaction to return-from-the-dead and experienced WK Harry.

[Snark Knight]

I'd expect some development on one or both of the remaining significant vampire courts' storylines.

It's been a while since Cowl has appeared, too. I don't expect an identity reveal yet, but he might show up and drop a few more breadcrumbs.

[exartiem]

Someone launches a black magic assassination attempt on someone at the talks.  Eb is accused.  Harry is ordered by the WC and Mab to investigate.

[Arjan]

Frost giants verus Einherjar. Time for the really big battles.

[wardenferry419]

Big battles are cool but let's not lose the mystery to solve part.

[Kindler]

Vaguely, I want to see more of Mab's long-term plans and goals. She's been moving pieces around for ten or eleven books now, and I want to start learning why (from her perspective, not the Mothers or Harry's often warped interpretation).

I'd like to see how Marcone handles himself among the major players. This would be the first time on-page of him negotiating and dealing with Big Supernatural Things. Not really an ongoing plot clue, but it's something I've wanted to see for a while now; Marcone staring down Lara Raith in particular would be fun.

And, like others have said, we need to get the White Council back into things; they've been missing entirely for three books, but really four (as their only real contribution in Changes was to introduce a new jerk and then get sidelined).

Peace talks should define the shape of the conflict in the next few books - what replaces the war with the red court.   I am personally expecting another war to start.  Wars are great from the perspective of the Outsiders as they are a great distraction and prevent concerted action against their interests.     I expect this to be a wider war than the war with the red court - Formor, vampires, and several other nations on one side.     And ideally this war will start in some way that splinters the white council - or at least ideally from the outsider standpoint.
