The price of power
Every act of strength in this book has a bill attached. Aelin incinerates dozens of Morath ships and has to be pulled back from burnout by Rowan. The ghostly guardian at the Lock names the ultimate cost: sealing the Wyrdgate requires her own life force and the blood of a willing sacrifice. Even healing carries weight — Aelin burns the Valg infection out of Aedion with fire that could consume her. The book keeps asking what a savior is allowed to spend of herself, and answers, again and again: everything she has, and then herself.
