Seeing as how every pin I have of Tyler has him romantically involved with Summer in some way, I'd say that's a fair guess.

(Between reading multiple books and frantically trying to re-plot my story I can't think properly.)

Or... Laura is their third sister.
But then again, I'm pretty sure that's completely wrong, since the Tela Du, Petra, is supposed to kill Lady Dragon. :P

Well, I'm thinking (or hoping) that we'll get some more background on Laura, since she seems to be tied closely with this whole LD/TD stuff.
And also I think that's a given that we'll learn more about Amber, which I'm pretty excited about. ;)
So no "big" specs., but oh well. *shrugs*

Do Amber and Petra have one face in any other way than that they look alike?
If their fate is twisted, is it just twisted together or is it twisted in a bad sense? Does what happens to one change what happens to the other? If one dies, does that do something to the other?
Particularly interesting is "one shall speak the other's death." Which one? Does Amber speak Petra's death? Does Petra speak Amber's? Is it Speaking or just speaking? Does that mean Petra becomes a bookdaughter? Or if Petra's sisters are really twins or triplets, what if one were mistaken for the other? Then her sisters could have Amber's face too...
Does one merely speak the other's death or actually kill the other? The prophecy doesn't actually say. One could speak death by another's hand. Or does she speak the words and that's what causes the other to die?
Or what if the death were figurative - like the death of Amber's evil nature? That would make her war "final." Can someone from earth actually truly die in Rizkaland? Are they dead in both worlds then or just one?
I do happen to think Amber dies...
I'm assuming there will be a war at the end of the book... I'm curious to find out Granite's role. I'm guessing he dies when Amber does, but is it right away? Or just triggered by her death? And does her death trigger the war or end the war?
So many speculations....so many ways the story could go. :) But only one way it will go. :)

I'm curious what Reuben's role is, exactly. I mean, in WPFP, Andrew isn't the main character, really--that's Clara--but he does still have a significant role. So I'm wondering about Reuben. Maybe he's in the prophecy somehow, too?
And I do highly suspect we're going to find out some interesting stuff about Laura in this book. I'm gonna guess her relationship with Amber is going to be revealed more, and maybe, just maybe, she's got some sort of relationship with another Rizkaland character as well? I mean more specifically than just being around when they were little or something.
As for the death aspect, I agree that the prophecy seems a bit vague. I think Amber's probably not going to actually die in this book, unless there's another antag lined up somewhere...in which case we'll surely meet him/her in this book.

And what about Amber's Island? If she dies, is the ban of the island completely gone? Or is that something else the good guys have to deal with? There could be countless interesting stories from those trapped there....
Does Amber ever think of replacing herself - someone to take over her ambition were she possibly to die? Or is she secure in her long life with no fear? Or perhaps her mission is hers alone and she wouldn't care to have it continued after her death...

Or what if there was a way to kill the dragon part and not the human part of her - or vice versa?

OH wow, that's an interesting theory....


Ooh, there are some VERY interesting speculations cropping up. Some are ones my characters are discussing as well.
Hmm... maybe I should drop the fact that the wording I originally considered for the prophecy was, "one shall see the other's death."
And, yes, Reuben does have a VERY significant role to play, despite not being in any prophecy. He shares that distinction with the Church age. ;)
Keep it up, guys. I'm about to pull up and see if I can churn out chapter nine!

It could mean one watches the other die.
It could also mean one foresees the other's death...seeing it in the future...sort of like speaking it...
Or one oversees the death of the other, but others carry it out.
Or one sees to the death of the other...
But now we have both See and Speak to consider. The problem is that they fit together too well. And vaguely. :)
it will be fun to read the characters musing on some of these same things. :) (Now I feel like a character.)


Here's a thought that would have potential for awesomeness. What if Amber's destruction were to come about through her own powers? For instance, what if she tried to turn Petra to ice (or something) and, due to the fact that Petra has the same face (and other nuances relating to this fact), it ends up turning Amber to ice instead? That way Petra wouldn't outright kill her herself; Amber's demise would be due to who Petra is, though. And maybe it would turn Granite to ice as well then. And Reuben could be involved somehow too...
The problem with that is that turning to ice isn't exactly death...
Or what if her dragon fire turned on herself and she was burnt...
Or if we're getting really complicated, Amber turns Petra to ice. But then it turns backwards on her and she finds herself freezing because of the one face thing. So she sends Granite or someone to find a source of Alphego's fire to thaw herself...but because she's rejected Alphego, the fire consumes her and revives Petra.
And I totally made that up based on very limited knowledge. I know there's a lot more going to be going on that I don't have a clue about yet. :) I don't actually think she would freeze Petra - not without another factor motivating her. She would naturally want to kill her outright and not risk her coming back to destroy her later.
Still, it would be neat if Alphego were the one involved in her demise.
There has to be a reason that they have "one face." Only the girl with that face can do this...so why?
Seriously. If my plotting brain is working this well right now, I really ought to go plot my own book. It needs it.

What if Amber's death is totally accidental on Petra's part? Sort of like at the end of Tangled, where Mother Gothel falls. But Amber falls off a wall or something and Petra tries to save her and then Amber ends up dying. I think Petra would be too good to outright kill Amber.
Or maybe they capture Amber somehow, and when she goes on trial, she gets sentenced to death.
OR what if Amber accidentally freezes Granite and then dies of grief?
This is just getting crazier...

Going with that, what if speaking her death means that Petra has information that will cause Amber to die or be killed - and Petra has to choose between giving the information/assuring her death and withholding the information/hurting/killing someone else (Reuben maybe?). Or what if Amber has Reuben's life in her hands and will kill him if Petra makes any move against her?




I really want to speculate here but I might give spoilers, because I'm forgetting what you guys don't quite know yet, and Kendra would probably not like me for that. But I kind of have an idea tying Petra to Amber and her sisters. Though I'm probably dead wrong, and I admit to that.

Things I do know from Pinterest:
The Queen of Klarand is named Jilina. Based on that Klarand is going to come into things. And Kendra mentioned that Petra and Reuben were at the Kastle.
A quote indicated that P and R will be the main characters of Book 3. I'm thinking they won't go back home at the end of LDTD then. And Petra isn't reconciled to everything yet.
Anyone got any ideas about Edna? She seems to belong with someone named Alex.
I'm pretty sure that Summer is the Edmund character but with her name it could be Edna. And there was supposed to be four queens.
Oh and there is a princess named Sorei. Obviously for a later book. Maybe of Chinok. And there's a Lady Jenna.
And here's something really interesting. There a picture of Anita (Clara's daughter) and Kyle (Andrew's brother). Uncle and niece. So, shortly after the time of WPFP they(Clarand + others) actually get sent back to Klarand to help out.
And then there's this picture. Edna and princesses. I don't know what that means.



All these theories are incredibly interesting!


So far Amber's the only dragon we've met. Will another come...or will Amber be a part of later books? :)
The title almost sounds like a good song though. But up against unicorn sword, not so much... I don't know....
*wonders if Lost Bookholder is tied in any way to lost prince in the Silver Chair....*
