Some theories so far:
1. Mal HAS to be Grisha. He has an important role in Alina’s destiny. He can’t be just an incredibly skilled tracker, his ability must be related to a greater power: the small science of the Grisha. Also Baghra said something that hinted on him being more than what he appears to be, and I think it has something to do with Alina’s Sun Summoner power

2. Alina is probably related to Morozova or something. It makes sense because we know nothing about her family, and since Morozova’s daughter was the first Darkling then the Sun Summoner has to be related to that family tree, maybe that’s one of the reasons why she has such a strong connection to Aleksander (other than the amplifier that connects them)

3. Regarding that connection with the Darkling, the only way to defeat him and kill him is to kill Alina as well. She said it herself, they’ll always be connected to each other, and in the last book when she tried to kill him they probably survived because the other did too. I’m sure Alina dies so it will probably be while killing the Darkling
1.5. Also, regarding Mal’s power, by now we know there are not just 3 ways of the small science (“are we not all things?”), Mal has a different and rare power I know it.Maybe HE’ll be the one to kill Alina….
2.5. Kept reading a little further and Alina has the same suspicions of her parentage as me, and the same weird thought of her and the Darkling being literally cousins and well…. practically incest 🫢🤔
“Or possibly exchanged kisses and a bit more than that with my cousin” ☠️☠️☠️☠️
