DEEPLY CONCERNED

[brianakane]

Daily reminder that Selwyn kane sacrificed his humanity for a girl that wasn't even his

[ackerbabezzz]

Sel antis who can’t admit or see the obvious growth in Sel are the most annoying I’m sorry

[ashalightwood]

One thing about the Kanes is that once someone become important to them and they trust you, they are loyal and would go to such lenghts to protect them, even doing unprecedented feats in the way. I love how we can see that with both Natasia and Faye and Sel and Bree. There are so many paralles between them and I can't wait to see mother and son reunited.

ICYMI!!! Oathbound sneak peek revealed by Tracy Deonn. (⚠ Spoiler for the end of Bloodmarked)

Thanks to the amazing @ashalightwood for always being on top of what's happening on Tracy's Instagram! 😄💜

I thought we were done with all the reveals and surprises this month, but after all it is Novembree ie Legendborn Christmas, so Tracy is spoiling us. 🥰

While the sneak peek doesn't reveal too much (I insist it's an expanded version of the infamous emoji trio 🕴️⌛🥀), the tone is so intense, the imagery so delightfully Scorpionic...

The teaser reads as follows (but please watch the video the reactions are PRICELESS):

The Shadow King could destroy me. I knew this the minute the ancient demon's magic enveloped us. Darkness billowed in on the final images of Nick in motion: his aether armor glinting in the sun, his outstretched hand, his blue eyes burning for battle. Fighting to keep me safe.

So many fights and losses, just to keep me safe. After everything my friends had endured, guilt clawed at my heart.

Then I saw Nick, and shame split it open.

The King grasped my hand. "I'm sorry," I said. "Please know that I -"

Then, we were travelling through shadows. I don't know how much time has passed. Seconds? Minutes? Blackness surrounds us in thick, inky streams. This is what it means to travel with a being of darkness, I think - before I begin to suffocate.

In this here and there vortex, there is no air to breathe. My knees buckle. I wonder if I might die before I've even begun this new life.

No.

Even thinking that word is enough to sharpen my oxygen-deprived mind. I clench the hard hilt of Excalibur to my side. I will not die here.

And then, without warning, we land.

I cannot contain myself someone help meeeee! 🙀😭😱😖🤯

Oathbound/Sel theory

I’ve seen a lot of people speculate how/if Sel gets his humanity back so I wanted to add my own theory.

Okay so we know that Natasia says that she can not guarantee that she can cure Sel. What if the reason is that Natasia was able to cure herself w/ Fae’s blood or root. I think that curing demonia has to do with facing your inner demons-literally ( kinda like that scene in My Happy Marriage). So maybe because Natasia ( and most Merlin’s ) have so little demon blood their inner-demons are easier to conquer and control (once they are given the blood of a powerful demon like the SK or someone that possess the SKs power/blood aka Fae and Bree ). So what if Natasia needs Brees blood/root in order to help Sel and that’s why she couldn’t guarantee she could save him. Also if the fan theory that SK is Sels father is correct then maybe Sels demon will be even harder to control or he has 2 demons, one inherited from Merlin and the other from SK. If he does have 2 demons then perhaps Natasia sealed SKs demon when he was younger and that’s why he’s not able to manipulate shadows like SK or able to cure himself with his own blood. Also if Bree’s blood/root is needed then maybe will get a scene when Natasia makes a deal with SK for a bit of Brees liquid aether or blood or whatever . I also think this would be a good excuse for Tracy to resolve Sels trauma so he will become less toxic to himself and others. Don’t get me wrong tho I love my sarcastic boy, I don’t think his personality is going anywhere lol

bUt tHatS jUsT a ThEoRy a BOoK tHeOrY ( ok I’ll stop 😭 )

Bonus theory: What if Sel unleashes his 2nd demon and is able to manipulate Shadows and Shadow leap once he is cured. Or maybe the Shadow Crown manifest in the human world because it senses someone is it’s rightful heir ( that could be Bree or Sel tbh )

If I had a nickel for every time I read the first 2 books of a fantasy YA series only to find out that the third book isn't coming out for another 7-9 months!!!!

I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[sometimes-almostnever]

The William update and the Oathbound preview have got me SPINNING YALL!!!! Tracy!!! Why are you like this?

[faithayc]

AN OATHBOUND SNEAK PEEK FROM THE PAPERBACK!!!!

[brianakane]

There's something about sel being the first one to kneel to Bree that makes my heart go ❤️

[ackerbabezzz]

everytime there’s a new announcement we always got a new surface of ship discourse and which ones trying to prove is the “better” ship between the two, bree has two hands for a reason.

[mythology-void]

hey um

[probablyintensemuses]

Oathbound ends with Nick, Sel, and Bree oathing themselves to one another. Squire, kingsmage, and a king. They are now ready to face Camlann.
