Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite literally tied. Hunt is part Thunderbird (We're told that he was literally bred for something and his father is a mystery) Like clearly one of the princes is his father, but like, the guy can literally absorb and use energy which is pretty thunderbird-ish. This is a blink and you miss it moment, and rhun never outright said the word "mate" but know that when scents are released I don't know the sequence of that rightly! (He made a big deal of it with Bryce and hunt) it means this is something Right??? nonetheless, I absolutely love the direction this is taking, specially that we've seen many perfect bonds through the sjm books, which helps readers to believe that incompatible bonds are chosen, and I'm exited to see a deeper moral related to mating bonds like this. Azriel has major ties to fey in Lunathion since he had Truth Teller and was the one that casually found Bryce. I no longer believe in coincidence. Everything is suspicious. If the whole ACOTAR gang can't cross to Bryce's world, I think only Az might. (The starborn sword and his knife have to fight together. A dizzying, suspenseful whirl that surprises at every turn." -- Entertainment Weekly (House of Earth and Blood)

To be published on 30th January 2024, House of Flame and Shadow will continue the story of "half-Fae, half-human" Bryce Quinlan, who finds herself stranded in a new world, far from her family, friends and partner, Hunt. The publication of the book in the UK will be supported by a marketing and publicity campaign, further details of which will be announced later this year. I actually believe they are going to avoid opening the Northern Rift to Hel all together, which I hope is the case because I still don’t trust any of the Princes of Hel. Is there a gate buried there? Is it in a tunnel network that is unknown to the Inner Circle and those in Prythian?I also believe we are going to learn how Azriel came to have the knife, Truth-Teller, as well as a LOT more about Amren and her history. Additionally it’s revealed that angels and archangels are also fae. Could the angels be Seraphim (from Creta in ACOTAR) or Peregryn from Dawn court? Both these species of fae have white feathers; however, Peregryn are described as having six feathered wings. Update july 22: ok I promise, this is the last update, I can't help it I'm so hyped for this. Anyways, after some thoughts, I can say for sure that this is danika on the cover for obvious reasons. I personally thought we would be getting an Azriel Gwyn book as the next ACOTAR book where we would see a bit more of the ending of House of Sky and Breath in that book. However, I highly doubt that this is ever going to happen, but for now I can just imagine Casteel, Kieran, Rhysand, Cassian, Azriel, Rowan, Dorian, Aedion, Ruhn, and Hunt all hanging out drinking beers. Different Powers and Crossovers

Cormac – Ruhn’s cousin from Avellan – has the same shadow powers that Ruhn has (so possibly a shadow slinger) as well as a fire power. He can also teleport or winnow. The shadows in both Ruhn and Cormac come from Ruhn’s mothers line which is how they are related. However, somewhere Cormac and The Autumn King (Bryce’s father) crossed and he had some of the same fire power. So now there could be a shadow slinger, Autumn court, Night court crossover in this family line.

About the contributors

Or is there a gate on the island where the Prison is located, where the harp was kept? In ACOSF, Nesta heard voices where people were trying to pass through the walls or were trapped in the walls. Where the Different Species in Crescent City Came From The only other place I can currently think of where there would be a gate is Ramiel. We know from ACOSF that there is an archway where Nesta makes her last stand to protect Emerie and Gwyn as they climb to reach the Monolith. Or is it possible that the Monolith itself is a gate?
