Summary
With the next book in theA Court of Thorns and Rosesseries , there are severalACOTARtheories I ’d lie with to see come dependable . So far , there have been five Christian Bible in theACOTARseries . One of them , A Court of Frost and Starlight , is a novelette , but the quietus are lengthy novels . With the act of characters and plot intricacies , and Sarah J. Maas loving to mystery box her narratives , reader have had merriment spin their own fan theories about what might happen in futureCourt of Thorns and Rosesbooks .
Of course , some of those theories are good than others . I’ve read more than a fewCourt of Thorns and Rosestheories that have made me roll my eyes as they just require ignoring all premature setting and established facts to work on . Other fan theories are less theories and more shipping fanfic . And some could be great theories but do n’t yet have enough evidence to support them . Still , there are some excellent fan theories out there support by solid evidence and strong reasoning . There are a few I ’d be intimate to see prove mightily in the nextACOTARbook and beyond .
8Lucien Becomes High King Of Prythian
He’s The Only One Who Has The Perfect Background
Okay , so this one may not happen in the very next book since I acquire there will be at least a few more record book in theACOTARseries , buta really populartheory is that Lucien will become High King of Prythian . Lucien has been somewhat wasted in Sarah J. Maas ' book so far , but a character as important as him surely has a bigger role to play . Considering his lineage , powers , training , and connections , Lucien would make an excellent mellow Riley B King . Iwrote about this Lucien asACOTARHigh King theoryrecently , and I still stand by what I wrote then :
finally , Lucien ’s impuissance could be his greatest military posture . Lucien was arouse in the Autumn Court , is the former emissary of the Spring Court , and is presently the emissary of the Night Court but lives in the human lands , with Vassa , the missing human poove and Jurian , the interpreter for his people . He ’s also the mystic son of Helion , High Lord of the Day Court . There ’s no Fae in all of Prythian who has a more informal cognition of the workings of various court of justice or more association to the human world . If there is a high-pitched King , Lucien is the only in high spirits Fae who could seat on the commode without the other courts feel as though it favour any specific one . In belong to no motor hotel , Lucien has the potential to belong to to all of them .
One affair I did n’t pertain upon then , however , is the estimate that Vassa might become his queen . Now , while I would eff for Lucien to become the High King , I do n’t sleep together the sub - theory that Vassa will sit at his side . Right now , we have a go at it very little about Vassa , and from what we do know , it appear Vassa and Lucien are nothing more than booster . There ’s never been a jot of romantic interest between them . Besides , I ’m too invested ( and too much has already been put ) in the Lucien - Elain - Azriel love triangle to buy Vassa as a romantic interest . Instead , I ’d jazz to see my own personal theory happen :
7Vassa & Jurian Become Sole Queen & King Of The Human Realm
It Would Be The Best Outcome For Prythian And The Mortal Lands
Vassa ’s story has been a loose end for a few book of account now . She was suddenly enclose as a secret cursed human queen , Lucien go off to find her and rejoin with her , and now she ’s living with Lucien and Jurian in a land of unresolved limbo . understandably , her story will be an authoritative one in the time to come even if it ’s not at the consequence . You ca n’t just insert a human pouf and do nothing with her . see as how the only other progressive - minded young female monarch on the tribunal was drink down by the others for help Team Rhysand , that leaves Vassa .
The ideal outcome would be to see the corrupt human queen defeat and Vassa as the new , sole queen . Or , barring that , she could become the combining weight of a president , if the human realm decide it wants to do away with the monarchy completely . That ’s where Jurian comes in .
Lucien ruling Prythian and his good Friend Vassa and Jurian rule the Mortal Lands would be the beneficial outcome for everyone .
Jurian is another persona we know very piddling about . What we do know about him , however , is that he has plentitude of character that would make a dear king . He ’s an excellent warrior and strategist . He cares only about help his people , homo , and he ’s uncoerced to be ruthless to do so . He ’s also shown his mentally unstable , fell persona may be more of an act than anything ; since the overthrow of Amarantha and Hybern , Jurian has also picture himself to be a sound mediator and treater . Lucien ruling Prythian and his upright admirer Vassa and Jurian ruling the Mortal Lands would be the good termination for everyone .
6Amarantha Was Actually Tamlin’s Mate (But He Rejected The Bond)
It Explains Much About Their Actions
Now that Hybern is defeated , there ’s one theory that could be reveal . It would n’t have much of an shock on the tale , but retroactively , it would give fuller circumstance to the legal action and motivations of some characters : some referee have theorized that Amarantha was Tamlin ’s teammate . We love that Feyre might have been his love , but she was n’t his partner , as that character belongs to Rhysand . That leave the role of Tamlin ’s match clear , especially as it appearsTamlin is head for a redemption arc inACOTAR .
Some have speculated that his first mate is Elain , which is … ok , I suppose . I do n’t like it and I do n’t think it makes horse sense considering all the tension between her and Lucien . Others , however , have speculated that Tamlin ’s mate was Amarantha and that when he rejected Hybern ’s ideals and her plan to rule Prythian , he essentially rejected the mating bond .
This is something I could get behind as it would explicate some actions in the books . It would excuse whyAmarantha and her riddlewere so obsessed with Tamlin , but she also allowed him to inhabit above ground with the Spring Court . handily , the masks she spelled to the Spring Court ’s face also keep anyone from being able-bodied to stare upon the torturously covetous Amarantha ’s fellow .

It would also explain why Tamlin fall behind his mind over lose Feyre . There ’s no uncertainty that Tamlin loved Feyre and that his time being trapped by AmaranthaUnder the Mountain broke Tamlinmentally and emotionally . Still , his utter desolation and volte-face to beast form after she left him has been odd and extreme . It could be that one of the reasons Tamlin cleave so hard to Feyre is because he ’d rejected the sexual union bond paper and was subconsciously panic that he ’d never find a checkmate , would never find love . Without Feyre , he has no distraction and he ’s left to muse the turn down matt-up bond and if he made the right choice in kill his true mate .

5Gwyneth Is A Lightsinger
She May Not Be Part-Nymph After All
Of all the theories , this one seems to be less like a theory and more like an inevitable fact that ’s been determine up through the narrative in the last book . The hypothesis is simple : Gwyneth Berdara is not a houri , but a lightsinger . This is a really popular theory that ’s made the round thanks to all the very specifically descriptive scene that describe Gwyn ’s telling . In the books , Cassian describes lightsingers as being Prythian ’s version of sirens : creatures with beautiful faces and mesmerise voices that will lure unsuspicious victims into the bog to drown them .
The forcible verbal description certainly fits Gwyn . She is beautiful ( but then , which characters in Maas ' impossibly pure populace are not ? ) and her voice is not a normal articulation . It ’s hypnotic , heal even . Her singing is also often described with adjectives associated with light . Whenever Nesta watch her sing , she key Gwyn as glowing when she sings – that ’s not a metaphor ; she quite literally glows when she sings . Gwyn ’s singing also conjures up visions for Nesta , her voice full of wild cheerfulness . That certainly sounds like a lightsinger to me .
That said , I do n’t think Gwen will turn evil . If she is a lightsinger , I do n’t think there ’s enough in her for their dark nature to pass her own . Gwen has been a fast and true friend to Nesta and has show her kindness and dear , and her braveness and finding . It could be possible that Gwyn does n’t even know she ’s a lightsinger , or that she was just told she was quarter - houri to protect her from discrimination . Azriel has for certain taken an interest in her , and it could be that his shadow sense her light . That said , I ’m hop there ’s another reason he ’s clearly drag to Gwyn .
Based on theA Court of Thorns and Rosesfantasy novel series, A Court of Thorns and Roses is a television adaptation that follows Feyre Archeron, a young woman dragged into the world of faeries after slaying one of their kind. The series will follow her journey through the lands of Prythian and her relationship with one of its lords, Tamlin.
4Azriel Ends Up With Gwyn As His Mate, Not Elain
They Make A Much Better Match – Sorry, Elriel Shippers
We already know that Azriel is n’t Elain ’s mate ; Lucien is . It would be great to see the Elriel ship form out , but that leaves Lucien heartbroken , and I ’d hate to see that , especially as Lucien has already been through so much . Butit would also be great to see Azriel last find someone who loves and accepts him , without the entanglements of a fellow - ship . That mean someone else has to supplant Elain , and that could be Gwyn .
A Court of Silver Flameshinted at there being a connectedness between Azriel and Gwyn that extend well beyond him save her after she was ravaged by Hybern soldier . He seems to be draw to her . It could be that it ’s just his powers smell out their diametric and complement in Gwyn ’s lightsinger ability . If she is a lightsinger , it would make sense that she ’d be Azriel ’s mate , and that could also be what he ’s sense . It would be a little too reminiscent of Alina and the Darkling inShadow & Bone , butSarah J. Maas does love a simple-minded binary program .
A Court of Silver Flameshinted at there being a connexion between Azriel and Gwyn that goes well beyond him saving her after she was ravaged by Hybern soldiers .
Beyond just wanting to see Azriel glad , Az has a direction of making hoi polloi feel dependable , which is what Gwyn want after what she ’s been through . If she is a lightsinger , Azriel ’s shadow world power can also help Gwyn get a line to control her own , balancing her out . As for Azriel , Gwyn could be good for him , too . Gwyn has been through repugnance , something Azriel can understand . If Gwyn can mend from it and put herself out there in the world , as she did in education to be a Valkyrie , then maybe Az can , too . Personally , I consider Gwyn and Azriel would make a skillful match than the warrior Azriel and the fragile flower that is Elain .
3Azriel Was Meant To Be Elain’s Mate (But The Cauldron Gave Her Lucien Instead)
It Would Explain The Weird Love Triangle
A more puzzling dynamic in theACOTARbooks is the love trigon between Azriel , Elain , and Lucien . There ’s nothing that says a mating bond always has to happen between two Fae for it to be erotic love – indeed , we ’ve seen exercise of passion without a mating bail – Azriel ’s connection to Elain seems to be middling acute for the normally stoical shadowsinger . It ’s especially left that his desire for Elain encounter fairly short after literal centuries of him pining after Morrigan . One explanation for it is that Elain is his mate – or rather , was presuppose to be , but is no longer .
The theory is that Azriel was imagine to be Elain ’s mate , per the Mother ’s judgment . But when Elain kick the bucket into the Cauldron , Azriel was in the process of choke at that moment – remember , his wings had been ravaged and he was badly wound – and the Cauldron , which loved Elain as much as it hat Nesta , took pity on her and gave her Lucien as a mate instead . Since Azriel recover , however , Elain now has a slight union Julian Bond with both Lucien and Azriel , which is why their moral force has been so uncertain and fraught .
It could be that this is the Cauldron ’s ultimate endowment to Elain : By giving her two mate connexion that are n’t in particular warm , it allows her to choose her partner based on true love , rather than a pairing bond , which is what she has always desire .
It would explicate why Azriel feels a drag toward Elain , but she does n’t sense the same twist toward Lucien that he feels for her . Then again , Elain is so against her philia being prescribe by a sexual union bond that she has gone out of her way to nullify spending any metre with Lucien , so she would n’t know if she felt any wrench toward him or not . It could be that this is the Cauldron ’s ultimate gift to Elain : By giving her two mate connections that are n’t peculiarly impregnable , it take into account her to select her partner based on unfeigned beloved , rather than a mating bond , which is what she has always wanted .
2Elain Will Free The Fae Trapped In The Mountain Stone Of The Prison
Elain Might Be The Most Powerful Archeron In The End
The possibility that the next book inA Court of Thorns and Roseswill focus on Elain seems less a possibility and more a certainty . The chronicle was always about the three sister . Feyre ’s romanticism with Rhysand is neatly tie up and Nesta ’s Latinian language with Cassian has finally been consummate . That leave behind Elain , and that ’s proficient . We can finally get her mussy love triangle resolved , for everyone ’s sake , including us readers .
But Elaine is mostly a blank slating : right now , there ’s just not much to her . Any book that earn her the central protagonist ca n’t just rivet on the erotic love expression , but must also execute the closed book of her world power , just as previous Christian Bible unraveled the origins of the power behind Feyre and Nesta . The book have been hintingthat Elain might stop up being the most hefty Archeron sister of all . We know she has the power of vaticination and clairvoyance , but it seems like she has n’t fully tapdance into that power or get a line how to curb it .
This is why I do it the theory , best place out byofftorivendellon Tumblr , thatit will be Elain and her power that release all the trapped Fae in the Prison mess . The Prison is one ofACOTAR ’s most mysterious places . In a late book , Rhys evoke that the Prison island is where the miss eighth court of justice , the Dusk Court , used to be . That sure seemed to be support when Nesta touch the Harp and had a vision of Fae suddenly being suck into the mountain and trapped forever and a day . It seems there might be some sort of portal in the Prison , and that the Dusk Court got pulled into the stone .
Each of the Archeron sisters has been tied to a mountain : Feyre amount into her own when she shoot down Amarantha Under the Mountain . Nesta became herself on Ramiel hand the Blood Rite . That leaves the Prison quite a little for Elain ’s test .
It make sensation that Elain would be the one to free them . Each of the Archeron sisters has been tied to a mountain : Feyre came into her own when she defeat Amarantha Under the Mountain . Nesta became herself on Ramiel passing the Blood Rite . That leaves the Prison mountain for Elain ’s test . She can discover and see thing others can’t;if anyone can hear and see the Fae trapped in stone , it ’s Elain . And if any character can coax the Harp to give up its prize , it ’s gentle Elain . She ’s the last of the babe to show how powerful she is . They ’re all uniquely powerful , and that ’s potential for a reason , result to the last hypothesis .
1The Archeron Sisters Have Blood From The Fae Who Caught The Bone Carver
It Would Explain Their Prodigious And Unique Powers
The Archeron sisters are special . And while most fantasy and romantasy books tend to have Mary Sues as booster , the Archerons are individually powerful , and uniquely so , thatjust should n’t be possible or likely for the ordinary human inACOTAR ’s world . All three of them survived being Made – Feyre reborn through the combined power of the High Fae Lords , and Nesta and Elain by the Cauldron . By rights , there ’s no manner all three of them should have survived , much less thrived – but they did .
This suggeststhere ’s something special about the Archeron sisters . It could be that they ’re destine to help save Prythian and the Mortal Lands and it ’s Fate and the Mother at play . Or , as a pop hypothesis suggests , it could be that they have Fae blood in them . Specifically , they could have the blood of the very Fae who help capture the Bone Carver . The Bone Carver has shown slap-up pastime in Feyre , and he even made a point to bring up that the Fae warrior who captured him has a bloodline that can still be traced to humans in the Mortal Lands . It just might be that the nextA Court of Thorns and Rosesbook will give away the Archeron sisters are of her bloodline .
base on theA Court of Thorns and Rosesfantasy fresh serial , A Court of Thorns and Roses is a television adaptation that come after Feyre Archeron , a untested charwoman dragged into the world of sprite after slaying one of their sort . The serial will follow her journey through the lands of Prythian and her family relationship with one of its lord , Tamlin .
