Epigraph

You ask why I hate him, so I’ll tell you. I hate him because he smiles with the same mouth that commands our chains. I hate him because his blood runs Faraengardian, and no matter how sweetly it sings to you, it was born from a land built on our broken backs.

You cannot trust one born of the enemy, Maeravel—not with your freedom, not with your heart.

Especially not with your heart.

Mother

Letter from Zyrenna Kastrel, commander of the Selencian rebels, to her daughter, Maeravel Kastrel
