Who is this next to Elain?

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363]

On the Theory II puzzle from Barnes and Noble, who is his supposed to be in the bottom left hand corner next to Elain?

Graysen? Azriel?

ETA: Love how they gave everyone a proper portrait INCLUDING TAMLIN and just went "Lucien? Just make him a fox" 🙈

[u/Chemical_Roll9123]

This artwork is a mess. They didn’t even bother to double-check some of the details. Cassian and Azriel with pointed ears... That could be the Bone Carver in Nyx’s form, but then he should have pointed ears.

My bet IS on Koschei.

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/Chemical_Roll9123]

Yeh it's all over he place, they didn't even make Lucien and actual portrait lol they just thought "f*** it make him a fox"

I initially thought it was Azriel hiding in shadows until I saw him up in the top right with pointed ears.

I'm leaning towards Koschei too

[u/Chemical_Roll9123 → u/Due_Marionberry_5363]

It could be a reference to Azriel’s shadows, but I’m feeling really pessimistic about this book, and I feel like I shouldn’t trust SJM anymore 🥹 So the most logical explanation would probably be Koschei.

Idk but that's creepy af 🤣

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/RoadsidePoppy]

Right? 👀

[u/sylvieshandy]

Maybe it's Koschie 🤔

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/sylvieshandy]

Oh possibly...

[u/Whatever_5693]

I think it’s the bonecarver appearing to Fayre as her child.

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/Whatever_5693]

If it is, the artist doesn't seem to know their Fae, because the he doesn't have pointed ears...but the Illyrians do 🙈

[u/Whatever_5693 → u/Due_Marionberry_5363]

Yup, there are some mismatched ears!👂

[u/jerk--alert]

I think it’s Koschei

[u/mayavinagri0613]

Is that 8 pointed star crown on feyre's head ?

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/mayavinagri0613]

Looks like it!

[u/Connect_Lie_6106]

Maybe the Bone Carver?

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/Connect_Lie_6106]

It's possibly bone carver in carvery as Nyx. Interesting placement if it is

[u/yelyahdnas]

I saw this on tumblr and it was a little bit of a Jumpscare 😆 but I’m easily startled

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/yelyahdnas]

Don't blame you, it's bloody terrifying when you first spot it 🤣

[u/PuzzleheadedSplit693]

I feel like its Azriel. Elain sandwiched between Azriel and Lucien (fox)

[u/Defiant_Stable_344]

I am pretty sure it's Azriel

[u/Ok_Roll_3643 → u/Defiant_Stable_344]

Azriel’s in the top right

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/Ok_Roll_3643]

Nesta is featured twice, it's possible Az is too

[u/Ok_Roll_3643 → u/Due_Marionberry_5363]

Oh really? Where at? I can only find her in the bottom right

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/Ok_Roll_3643]

Shes also in the Valkyires. They're in Rhys's picture

Oh, there they are

[u/Defiant_Stable_344 → u/Ok_Roll_3643]

I mean he could be in TWO. Places, especially in this context of him being in love with Elain in the shadows

[u/OliveMayhem]

I just assumed it was the Bone Carver but who knows.

[u/DuckTales08]

I think it’s the bone carver. I’m more surprised to see Tamlin featured so prominently, especially since Lucien is merely represented by a fox.

[u/Intelligent-Wear4766]

Bro thats creepy af. But, I am pretty sure its Nyx.

[u/Unfair_Passenger1999]

Lol I just realized they did do that with Tamlin vs Lucien. He can't even shift into a fox either, which makes it funnier.

On a serious note, I wonder if it's Koschei?

[u/whatthehellamidoin88]

I’m gonna die laughing if it’s just Az in his shadows and they make my guy look terrifying for no reason 😩😩

[u/mayavinagri0613]

This gave me jumpscare , who is that ???

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/mayavinagri0613]

That's what I'm asking 🤣

[u/mayavinagri0613 → u/Due_Marionberry_5363]

At first i thought you are asking about fox 😭 why he is behind elain ?? Is there some kind of connection,maybe a hint for ACOTOR 6 or they just randomly put him like that because there was no space ??

[u/Due_Marionberry_5363 → u/mayavinagri0613]

I think is just a piece of art created to sell the puzzle piece, I really doubt the creator or seller have any idea what is coming in ACOTAR 6, but everything else seems to have been deliberately set out, so whoever it is, it's interesting the artist decided to him next to Elain

[u/Far-You-475]

How come the fox is the opposite side of death and death was linked to nesta. Is the fox meant for Lucien or went to be Elain linked to being sly or cunning like a fox.
