In the original Nightworld everyone wanted Jack to wield the sword but the sword would only accept Glaeken. Jack series seems to be setting him up for the job of defending the Ally. First there is the whole "spear has no branches" thing, and killing off his loved ones. And Glaeken doesn't want to reprise his role, he expects Jack to take over. So I've been wondering if this is going play out the same as the original Nightworld, with Jack trying the sword first, then everyone else, then finally Glaeken being the only one. What does everyone else think will happen in the revised book? Is Jack going to be the hero or Glaeken?
