The question of "Who does Mor end up with in ACOTAR?" is one of the most persistent and emotionally charged mysteries in Sarah J. Maas's beloved fantasy series. As of the latest installment, *A Court of Silver Flames* (ACOSF), published in 2021, the definitive answer is that Morrigan has not yet ended up with anyone. Her romantic future remains completely unresolved, a deliberate plot thread left dangling by the author for a future book.

Morrigan (Mor) Profile and Biography: The Truth-Teller of the Night Court
Morrigan, known simply as Mor, is one of the most powerful and enigmatic characters in the *A Court of Thorns and Roses* (ACOTAR) series. Her history is steeped in tragedy, power, and a deep-seated secret that has shaped her life for five centuries.
- Full Name: Morrigan (often referred to as Mor).
- Title: The Morrigan, High Lord Rhysand's Third-in-Command, and a key member of the Inner Circle.
- Court: Night Court.
- Family/Lineage: Her ancestors are implied to have been the original rulers of the Night Court, and her family holds the ancient, powerful Veritas relic.
- Power: Her primary power is Truth (Veritas), which allows her to discern lies and compel others to speak the truth. She is also a formidable warrior with immense raw power, leading to her being called "The Morrigan," a nod to the Celtic goddess of war and fate.
- Current Status: Unattached. She is confirmed to be bisexual or to prefer females, a truth she has kept secret from her family and even from her closest friends in the Inner Circle for a long time.
- Key Past Event: 500 years ago, she was brutally attacked by her betrothed, Crown Prince Eris Vanserra, and his allies from the Autumn Court, an event that led to her rescue by Rhysand and her integral role in the Inner Circle. The true circumstances of this event are still shrouded in mystery.
The Azriel Dynamic: Why Mor and Azriel Are Not Endgame
For centuries, the primary romantic tension involving Mor was her complicated relationship with Azriel, the Night Court's Shadowsinger. The latest books, however, have definitively shut down the possibility of them becoming a couple, leading to the current unresolved status of her love life.
The 500-Year-Long Unrequited Love
Azriel has been deeply, unrequitedly in love with Mor for over 500 years. This devotion is a significant part of his character arc, and it is a source of tension and pain within the Inner Circle. Mor, however, has consistently kept him at arm's length, which fans found confusing until the truth was revealed.
The Truth of Mor's Sexual Orientation
The biggest reveal came in *A Court of Wings and Ruin* (ACOWAR), where Mor finally confides in Feyre Archeron the real reason she cannot be with Azriel: she prefers females. This revelation means the following:
- No Mating Bond: Despite fan theories, there is no mating bond between Mor and Azriel. The emotional connection they share is one of deep, familial love and friendship, not romantic desire.
- The Closet: Mor has been unable to reveal her true self to the world, especially to her traditional and cruel family, who would use this against her. This is the source of her emotional isolation and her inability to let Azriel go completely, as she fears losing his friendship and the protection of the Inner Circle.
- Azriel's New Path: This truth frees Azriel to pursue his own destiny, which is now intertwined with Elain Archeron and, potentially, Gwyn Berdara, a plot thread explored in *A Court of Silver Flames* (ACOSF).
The Leading Candidates for Mor's Future Love Interest
With Mor's romantic path now focused on a female partner, fan speculation has exploded. Sarah J. Maas has confirmed that Mor is one of the characters slated to have her story told in a future installment of the series, which will likely feature her finding a love interest and resolving her political plotline.
1. Emerie: The Valkyrie Connection
The most popular and current theory is that Mor will end up with Emerie, one of Nesta Archeron's Valkyrie companions.
- The Evidence: Emerie is a new character introduced in *A Court of Silver Flames* (ACOSF). She is a powerful, resilient Fae warrior who is also an outsider, having been abused by her family.
- The Narrative Potential: A relationship between Mor and Emerie would be a powerful narrative parallel. Both are strong women who have suffered trauma and family abuse. Mor could help Emerie heal and find her place, while Emerie could be the safe, new connection Mor needs outside of the Inner Circle's long-standing, complicated dynamics.
- Future Book Speculation: Some theories suggest that Mor and Emerie's journey will be a central part of a future novella or a dedicated book, possibly involving the mysterious land of Vallahan.
2. A New Character or Political Match
Given that Mor is the High Lord's Third-in-Command and a figure of immense political significance—her family's ancient ties to the Night Court are a major plot point—her love interest may be someone entirely new, introduced to serve both her personal and political arcs.
- The Need for Secrecy: Because her family is so powerful and traditional, her eventual partner may need to be someone who can offer her protection or a path to freedom from their influence, possibly from a different Court or a powerful, independent lineage.
- Helion's Court: Some fans speculate about a connection to the Day Court High Lord, Helion, or someone from his Court, as a way to establish new alliances and move Mor's story forward.
The Unresolved Mystery: Mor, Eris, and the Autumn Court
Mor's past with Eris Vanserra, the Crown Prince of the Autumn Court, is another crucial, unresolved element that must be addressed in her future book.
- The Betrayal: Mor was tortured and left for dead 500 years ago, an act she blames on Eris, her betrothed. This event is the foundation of her bond with the Inner Circle and her hatred for the Autumn Court.
- The Twist: Eris's actions and motivations have been continuously hinted at as being more complex than they first appeared. Many fans, and even characters in the books, believe Eris may have been protecting Mor in some way, or that he knew the truth about her sexuality and was trying to help her escape a forced marriage.
- The Veritas Power: Mor's power of Truth is the key here. Her inability to fully discern the truth of that night suggests a major revelation is coming. The resolution of the Mor/Eris plotline is expected to be a political earthquake that will reshape the relationships between the Night and Autumn Courts.
Conclusion: The Future is Female and Unwritten
While the definitive answer to "Who does Mor end up with?" is still no one, the latest developments have paved the way for a powerful and long-awaited storyline. The narrative has shifted from the unrequited love with Azriel to an exciting future where Morrigan, the powerful and compassionate Morrigan, will finally be able to embrace her true self and find a love that is honest and reciprocated.
Fans eagerly await the next ACOTAR book, where Mor's journey will undoubtedly take center stage, exploring her political destiny, her powerful Truth ability, and her eventual romance with a strong female character, most likely Emerie, finally granting her the happiness she has deserved for five centuries.
