Join Abby and Ronnie as they dive deep into our faithful leaders of Prythian - the High Lords! From Beron’s nefarious motivations to Helion’s connection to the mask - we break it all down for you in this ACOTAR Deep Dive Episode! What exactly is the source of the High Lord’s Powers? Who’s the heir to each court? And how exactly is it possible that in the millennia of magic choosing the High Lords, a High Lady has never ever been chosen?!? We smell a rat.

The source of the High Lord’s power
What we can learn from Calanmai
The likely heirs to each court (Lucien’s looking good for like, 3 of them)
Whatever the hell is going on in the Autumn Court
Maasverse Section:
How the high lord’s power ties to the Asteri (Hello, Vesperus, hi, what did you mean when you said the land drank from you??)
What happened to all the High Ladies
The connections between Beron and the Autumn King (we think it could involve some caves and some thin places)
Helion’s connection to the Mask
Thesan’s connection to other healing powers in the Maasverse (looking at you, Tower of DAWN)
