Prologue: The backstory of world did not intrigue me probably because I was/am confused by it.
1. Why did Heartstone Guild become assassins?
2. "deep brown skin" - *image of me smiling* yes. The queen is black/brown that is all I need to read.
3. So his son is bound too, yikes. So the premonition of fatherless one year old is his son. So binding ritual is what is depicted on front cover of this book.
4. Its kind of interesting that 18 years have passed taking to kingdom to this =abandoned = "dead"
Prediction: All left over rebel monks with black outfits are King Esban young brother- clones with the remnant magic
5. Its almost like fate is calling you (shadow)
Q: What about the Renovian golden skinned baby? (the queen depicted at beginning giving the binding ritual).
Prediction: Caledon Holt is sent to keep the insurrection of Esban young brother clones down.
Q: Who was the other person with Calderon (there was two guys talking one young one old)?
Q: What is going on in all the other kingdoms?
Last question: We know that the chalice with black being poured into it is representing the binding ceremony. So what do the black flowers mean?
