The Cursed Heart Theory Page

Welcome to The Cursed Heart Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from The Cursed Heart series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Story Genre: Due to the title, it is theorized that the book will deal with curses and witchcraft. This is further strengthened as one of the writers teased about the book being magical.
 * Inspiration: It is believed by some players that based on the title, this book could take its inspiration from the Maleficent series of films, in which a witch curses a child, only to begin to love them as they grow older, desperately trying to undo the curse.
 * Radiance: Players believe Radiance is up to no good and preventing the MC from leaving by offering them food and drinks despite being warned about accepting such things from the Fae. Also, since he/she is the leader of the Sun Court while Kieran is the leader of the Moon Court, he/she is most likely Kieran's arch-enemy and the big bad of the story. Moreover, the sibling who gave Longclaw the berries that turned her into a bear depends on Kieran and Radiance's gender, fueling specualtion that said sibling is Radiance, who inherited the house. The revelation in Chapter 5 that whoever cursed Kieran was a girl regardless of Kieran's gender makes this theory less likely.
 * Strange Gemstone: Some players believe that the strange gemstone that we find in the well is actually Kieran's cursed heart, and that perhaps this is why Kieran claimed us. What's more, it is believed that the reason Kieran is so cold, abusive and emotionless, is because whoever cursed his/her heart, also cursed him/her to not have feelings, and that maybe we are the one who will finally break the curse by making Kieran feel again. This is strengthened by the fact that the title of the Book is called The Cursed Heart, and from the fact that Sir Montgomery says that Kieran used to be a kind, gentle soul who always liked to laugh.
 * Longclaw's curse: Some players believe that we may be able to return Longclaw to her human state before the end of the book, as she gives several signs along the course of the book that she misses her old life and that her family won't accept her in bear form.
 * Alias: Given that she was cursed into becoming a bear, it is believed the name Longclaw is just an alias which she got because of the curse.

Confirmed Theories

 * Gender of Choice: Most players believe that if the book is adventure, it will be gender of choice. This is confirmed in Choices Insiders January 2022.
 * NC-17: Due to the recent surge in mature-tagged stories, it is believed this story will be mature as well. This is confirmed when the book cover is revealed.
 * Single love interest: Due to the recent surge in single love interest stories, it is believed this story will have one love interest as well. This theory was confirmed in the first chapter.
 * Winged Beast: There is a theory that the Winged Beast is actually Kieran, and that this is his/her curse. What's more, it is believed that instead of wanting to hurt us, he/she is protecting us from anyone seeking to harm us such as Arthur. This is confirmed in Chapter 4, when Kieran morphs back into Fae form from the Winged Beast after bringing us back into the castle to safety.
