From the spoilers that I’ve read he does get a happy ending in the novel, though I don’t know who he ends up with but at least he won’t die
Oh, that reassures me a lot, thanks to let me know that!
I don't ship Cayena with anyone at this point yet though it's clear with whom she will end up with from the cover, what interests me the most is how her relationship with Rezef will develop.
I like the upgrade from him viewing her as a marionette/puppy to I don't know what to call, probably not on equal footing yet but much better. It's wholesome how he changes his behavior as soon as she is present.
I assume that their relationship will probably end up him being very obsessive as she has now become the sole person that gives him a mind of relief and peace. I guess as soon as she will mention or find a marriage partner, he will most likely get crazy and won't let her leave.
Despite of what I've read from novel readers, I can't help but feel pity for him and wish for a happy ending for him as well.
