So, at the end of the first book, Gracen is goingto come up with a plan to move into the house with Kieron and Steffana, and with the help of Jiko the psych solver, break the trauma bond.
At the end of the first book and/or the beginningof the second Gracen should meet with Jiko. Kieron should too
When she proposes the plan to Mercutio she is scheming. She wants to be the first point of contact with Steffana so she convinces Mercutio to giver her guardianship over Steffana, as hse is technically her closest living adult relative. Actually, sicne Mercutio is Steffana’s father he is the closest living adult relative, but Gracen convinces him that he needs to stay away from the Sandal of Steffana until the situation is stabilized and contained.
Gracen;s ulterior motive is that she wants to be the first to get up close and personal with Steffana and Kieron to see what she an use them for. She wants to get her hands on that land- prime land and she knows it- she definitey wants to get a piece of it!
So she tells Mercutio that the plan is to move in get close to Steffana, properly socialize her and get her out. (having watched the videos Gracen is unimpressed with Kieron’s heritage and family, but not his power, she is still in awe of his power
Someone has to fugure out that steffana is the one with teh power, not Kieron, but I don’t know if that is going to be Gracen. When is Leevian going to make it into the picture? I don’t know, teh srtucture for the second books is hazier, teh second book is all about socializing Steffana, and getting her ready for society, but then she gets kidnapped.
When Leevian hits the scene, gracen has to pay the Piper, leevian is furious that she has not been contacted, especially since SHE KNOWS Steffana is THE ONE.
Leevian puts Gracen in her place, both mercutio and Kieorn and baffled by it, they dont understand the hold Leevian has over Gracen.
