Probably already thought of but Autumn King theory
Okay so, like many others, I have been re-reading the Mass-verse in prep for ACOTAR 6 with my bestie & we share theories. Spoilers ahead for CC & a little TOG

Today we discussed if Ansel is Danika's great however many times grandmother because her house symbol is the wolf. Yes I know Ansel is human but that doesn't mean someone down the line didn't mate with a wolf shifter or something.
Anyway it led to discussing the Autumn King. We were trying to figure out if Rhuns powers come strictly from his mother or not but we know Einar is Theia's descendant. So why doesn't he have the starborn gift? My friend theorized that it skipped him & somehow Rhun, because its said he got his gift from his mothers side (though maybe not fully). Then I wondered. What if the parasite the Asteri put in the water that kept all the fae & shifters from manifesting both sets of powers, also kept the Autumn king from manifesting his star born powers??? Thoughts???
