Didn't Yrael get over that whole Genocidal Rage st the Abhorsens thing at the end of the thrid book. I mean he had his free will back (and just kinda left) so i think he could have attacked the Abhorsens by now if he was still angry.
He doesn't have his AWESOME POWERZ though, so why risk going back and being rebound? Maybe he got over it, maybe he didn't, maybe he's doing that cat 'feh, I never wanted it anyway' thing, maybe he's biding his time and gathering he legion of woodland followers.
omg update! Could it be!?
Sorry, I'll try not to let it take so long next time.

The most awkward of silences reigns supreme and Leto comes to a conclusion; family reunions are horrible.
All of them.
Well yes, the depths of his experience may have been his aunt; issues there and his forty-years-dead, murderous, monstrous, poisonous magic haemorrhaging uncle (less issues there though). But still, he was looking at a 100% awkward reunion rate. His brain moves onto the next topic, preparing to set Jack, Jacapo, whoever on fire while screaming about being vengeance.
Peri and Jack of them took at Leto, and then back to each other.
“Mine,” Peri says simply while Leto mentally dances a victory jig and declares ‘no backsies’. Jack looks miffed, not mad, just moderately annoyed.
“What could you possibly need him for?”
“Stuff. What do you need him for?”
Leto mentally fills in what 'stuff' is as the conversation continues around him.
“To bring down the wall.”
Of course you don't tell me that, just freaking dance around it for ages then tell her as soon as she asks. Jerkass.
Peri looks at Jacapo for a moment, then to Leto then back to Jack and groans.
“Ok, are you doing this to see what happens when you remove the big magic world separator?” She leaves the impression she's thought of another possibility but would rather not bring it up.
He grins at her and Leto could swear it was sincere, “I can undo it, I can bring back our world, our power.”
“The cost?” She asks, but from her voice she's already guessed, or at least suspects.
“The anchors.”
She groans again, “Oh for fuck’s sake. No. You’ll never get all the Clayr for one thing.”
“It will be enough to get the others.”
“Ok, what the hell is going on!?” Leto breaks in, screw the reunion.
Jack glances at him like ‘oh right, you’re here’ goes back to ignoring Leto. Peri speaks instead.
“When one of the Lines dies out, when the Great Stones or Wall is broken Charter Magic gets weaker and Free Magic gets stronger. Theoretically if we were to get rid of all of them we get our magic back, the world changes back...”
Leto stares at her, if it's that simple... “How have one of you not done it yet?”
Peri watches Jack as she speaks, gauging if her theory is right, “To break the Stones a member of one of the Lines has to be killed on them. Breaking the Wall takes all four.”
Jacapo smirks and she continues.
“But the Wallmakers were missing for so long, the Wall couldn't be broken, and even when they were around none of us would have braved Yrael to get one of the Abhorsen, let alone wipe them out, but now...”
Jack smirks wider. “Now all four Lines are present and unprotected.”
Peri does not look amused, in fact she doesn't show much of any emotion, “Leto, we're leaving.”
