#bandewolf

An updated version. Basically all the theories I had are confirmed or not and these are the ones I had that I went back and saw which ones were right and which were wrong. ✔️ next to the right ones and strikethrough script for the ones proven wrong. There might be some blank meaning they were neither confirmed nor denied.

- Evan, Jenna, Breon, and the rest of the magemarked are actually siblings✔️

- A wizard, very close to the Gray Wolf family, is a spy✔️

- Cas was once a human, and he was the child the woman dropped into the flames from Evan’s memories that Jenna saw

- Jenna is able to communicate with dragons/can turn into a dragon/something with dragons; she may be a shapeshifter and/or have fire powers✔️

- Iona, the former empress, had multiple children with different husbands/men, including Latham or Harol Strangward, Jenna’s biological father, Breon’s father, etc. and the magemarked are her children and Celestine’s younger siblings✔️

- Latham Strangward was either Evan’s father or uncle or some older generation relative✔️

- The Matelon line will become the new royal line in favor of the Montaigne line, with Hal as the first king ✔️

- Destin and Evan will find a way to love one another again, and Evan will convince Destin that he [Destin] is not a monster, and if he is, then Evan is too✔️

- In order to cement a truce/alliance between Arden and the Fells, Hal and Lyss (assuming Hal becomes king) will get betrothed and married✔️

- Darian, the guy who gave Breon the locket, flowers, and the job, could come back and there will be more about him, maybe involving the empress

- If Darian comes back, he could be the one who verified that Breon was magemarked for the empress and she came after him after receiving that knowledge

- It shouldn’t be a coincidence that Chima had both Darian, the employer for Breon’s gig, and the Darian Priests, bloodsucking maniacs that kill wizards/mages and suck them dry, have the same name✔️

- Cas was once a magemarked, and the empress did something to him

- Celestine may want to gather her “siblings” together to get more powerful or something, or she might want to use them for something else and extremely horrible✔️

- TECHNICALLY NOT A THEORY BUT WHAT IF EVAN IS A BIT FEMININE

- The reason Evan looked so familiar to Jenna was because when she “read Destin’s fortune,” she saw Destin holding hands with someone while walking down a beach. And that someone was Evan.

- The magemarked (or just Breon) have met Darian before, but they don’t remember either because they were too young, their memories were erased/changed, or something else entirely

- All of the magemarked can sing fairly well, but Breon would toP THEM ALL-

- Adrian and the others will have to go to the Armory of the Gifted Kings and get the Crimson Crown, and/or any other magical items

- Han will see Lyss for a brief amount of time after five years

- The magemarked were born of regular parents, maybe with a faint connection to the Nazari line, and they weren’t born with the magemarks but were experimented upon for a project or something

- The powers of the magemarked can be absorbed into Celestine and the victim would be left in a state of stupor and/or dreamworld

- The people’s enhanced abilities when bound by a blood mage comes from the mage’s need or want—Celestine wanted and needed superior strength and stamina, and Evan wanted and needed loyalty and trust. The more greedy or power-hungry the need and/or want is, the less taxing it is on the blood mage. Like how Celestine only needs to have a person drink her blood once and they’ll be fine, but Evan has to continually give his Stormborn his blood to placate their need for more.

- Shadow is the one who betrayed them

- There could be another Breaking, or a more vivid description of it

- Han pulled an Alger and went into the amulet; ✔️Alger may or may not be in there with him

- Ash gets a dragon like Jenna✔️

- Destin is just trying to make sure Evan comes out of this mess alive✔️

- Destin becomes allied with the Fells and the others are blown away by his ability to be both a badass and a sweetheart (like he has a soft spot for children i love him so much)✔️

- Evan and Breon become great friends and break the secrets of the magemarks✔️

- Evan or Jenna or someone may become the new emperor/empress

- Jenna and Ash come back to the Seven Realms with an actual dragon army✔️

- Lyss’ path to ascend to the throne may yet be the most important thing in history✔️

- There are more dragon riders, maybe some are magemarked

- Could Celestine be magemarked? Evan said at some point that there were nine magemarked, and Celestine said that she was the eldest of nine children.

- There’s a magemarked that’s older than Evan, since he’s about 17-18 now and Celestine is 20, and Jenna’s about 17 and Breon’s about 15-16 sooooo......

- Lyss was found out by the empress, and Celestine gave her a choice to either die/become a bloodsworn or lead her armies into the Seven Realms and destroy everything. Since Lyss is the heir to the Gray Wolf Throne, she chose to lead the armies and hope that the others could help her get back✔️

- If there’s a magemarked older than Evan then they could have memories or some semblance of what happened before the magemarked were supposedly taken away from Iona and Celestine

- The final battle could all take place at Chalk Cliffs, with the Fells trying to take the city back (possibly with the help of Hal and Arden) and Celestine trying to sustain her hold on them while seeking to expand her foothold on the wetlands, and maybe trying to get at any possible magemarked there?? Like Jenna and Adrian returned to the Fells so she’d be there, and I think Breon and Evan will return there before or during the battle with Celestine.

- What if Raisa doesn’t have a wolf form?? Since her connection to the Line was broken and she already crossed over before Han brought her back

- Harol Strangward is Evan’s father and the Empress Iona is his mother✔️
