Concerning MC's connection to The Dread: when Beckett tells MC about him, he mentions that Raife used to experiment on children before he set on his killing spree and then vanished. It's possible that MC was one of those children he experimented on. That could explain why MC is so powerful - especially because it is mentioned, again and again, that magick is innate and how strong one's potential for magick is something every Attuned is born with? So obviously I'm expecting there to be some kind of twist where we found out that's not always the case. Anyways back to Raife. Like I said MC could be one of those children he experimented on. I also think that the children he went after in his killing spree were "failed experiments" of sorts and he wanted to get rid of them.

I also think MC's parents could either have been working with Raife or were the ones who stopped him. Or both. And maybe not just them but some of the parents of our new friends as well? They could have started out working with Raife as their mentor or leader of sorts (kinda like what we saw with Gaius and the others in Bloodbound) until he went completely bonkers and evil. And, you know, started experimenting on their child/children. So they gave their child/children away and "hid" the MC in the human world for their own protection? Obviously they failed in completely defeating Raife because there's no way he won't be coming back to continue being evil so they could have managed to just detain him somehow and somewhere and well .. now he's free and going after MC etc etc

I'm not sure if any of that made sense (English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes) and I am prepared to learn in today's chapter that I am wrong about everything but .. yeah, that's my theory for now, lol.
