“What are you?”
So she can see the past, future, and heal people ?

This is kinda a crazy thought but what if lachlan also arranged for idalias mom to be poisoned and he also killed his wife after his father died she he could marry her 👀
“Do you think it might be too soon for him to remarry?” Her eyes snap to mine. “Whatever do you mean?”
Uh ohhhhhhh
“Do you think you could do both? What you said about Lorna seems to have been some sort of premonition, right?”

Her father, that sinister man, has tricked her. Again.
I feel like it’s not her father though… idk… I guess it isn’t lachlan
“Knowledge is deemed dangerous by the wicked. They don’t want those beneath them to learn too much because wisdom threatens power.”
“It was an entire book of notes dedicated to Devil’s Mirages and The Pass in Verdana. Ever heard of it?”
Torrent mentioned a journal! Why did they steal it though
“I think I know a way you and Idalia can break the curse.”
“Especially not some old woman hidden away in the woods. If she’s even still alive! The Minea would’ve told me about her. Nuri would’ve seen her.”
What if she lives in that cottage that they stopped by on their way out of the woods
“My fate has already been chosen for me, Idalia. The day I laid eyes on you, it was sealed, and I was yours. Wholly and true. I don’t need to touch you to know that I love—”

Uh ohhhh
“She can be anyone; she can be anywhere!” Or, more often: “She will devour them all, and then nothing can stop her from tearing our world apart.”
“The golden ring is fading; the world will be swallowed whole.”

Cyra? Are her and the woman on the wood the same person?
