I did say "after Aedale cleanses herself...". That changes perspective a bit yes? She freed herself from Lisara´s grasp with the help from one or more of her sisters, making her unique expert on demons and their manipulations, plus I suspect Lisara´s boss is the dark entity. And the dark entity ordered Blen´s death through the emperor, ordered elves evacuated and so on, ultimately resulting in Gardon doing the desperate thing he did. So, Kasrkin, Aedale and Larine do have a common enemy. All their troubles and despair was brought on by the dark entity. So we may yet see ultimate battle on 2 fronts. Gardon versus demons (and maybe van Durce there somewhere) in the kingdoms and Tyrant´s daughters, Larine and Kasrkin versus dark entity across the ocean?
