This title sparked a little theory in me for Gwyn.
We know her singing voice, along with the songs, during the Priestess dusk service is what helped Nesta find the harp.
Could Sarah take inspiration from The Little Mermaid and take Gwyn's voice for a bit during the book? How could you see this playing out?
In the bonus chapter of Azriel’s, we know Azriel was drawn and came to be at the library at exactly 7 o clock where Clotho was waiting at the desk.
What I find interesting is that Clotho is the name of one of the three big Fates, the one who specifically spun (or weaved) the threads of life. Azriel also got the necklace he ended up gifting Gwyn at a shop called The Palace of Thread and Jewels... coincidence? I think not....
When Azriel is drawn there at 7 o clock, I believe it's because of the mate bond between Gwyn and Azriel. He found himself there because fate was weaving their stories together at this time (with the help of Clotho)
I'm not done yet though... Sarah was raised Jewish. In Jewish/Hebrew (really almost any religion), the number 7 is the most important and symbolic number. It communicates a sense of "fullness and completeness". The spiritual meaning of the number 7 is quite interesting to... (I've included photos for both^)
Notice how it says 'spiritual revelations and big shifts that can have a positive impact on your life'..... Wouldn't you say a mate bond beginning to glow be considered a bit of a spiritual revelation and big shift in someone life that can cause a positive impact? When do we touch on a shift being mentioned AFTER the bonus scene? In Chapter 60 at Gwyn ribbon cutting scene in which Sarah makes a point to note how Azriel went wholly still as if he too had felt the shift. Again weaving of fate happening here....
If they are indeed mates (which is looking pretty obvious), they will complete each other as they are the other half to each other.
This really just ties it all together in a neat little bow don't ya think? 💖🎶💖

Lucien is doing some research for a special dinner he has planned for Elain while she is resting in his arms after a day spent in their garden 🥰

Elain and Lucien are off on an adventure. Where to? Wherever their hearts take them as long as they are together 🦊🌸
Lucien is showing off his skills of fishing with his bare hands as Elain just relaxes back to watch the view... and my, oh my, what a view it is 😉

This artwork is a little headcanon of Elain walking down the hallways at night after a nightmare and Lucien's jacket that he wrapped around her after coming out of the cauldron bringing comfort to her. Maybe having something like his jacket close to her triggers a vision? She seems to have them when he's close by....
Either way, I can't wait for her story to be told. I am excited to see her character growth, learn more about her Seer powers and what all she has seen/will see, and read about her falling in love with her mate 💛
