I'm sorry if my comment wasn't very clear since english isn't my main language, what I meant is that even before the baby is born, he will already protect Leah.
@knightendhol Do you remember her stepmother, Serdina? She's a gypsy and uses spells and magic to get what she wants. Leah is suffering from a strong spell cast on her
Serdina will have a very tragic death (if I remember correctly, her limbs will be cut off), and her son will also die. Estia will be conquered by the Kurkans. The novel ends with Leah pregnant with her second child (I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I read the novel and I don't remember much).
I remembered that the black mist that surrounds Leah during the wedding is her stepmother trying to take her back to Estia, which will indeed happen. The spell cast on Leah will make her think she loves Blain. Ishakan goes to Estia to rescue her, and soon after, Morga realizes that Leah is pregnant.
