What They Know

• He knows the Illyrian war-camps better than any living male—their brutality, their blood-rites, and the secret shame of their traditions.
• He carries the memory of every soldier he has lost in battle, and the weight of every order that sent them to die.
• He knows that Nesta is his mate—the Cauldron's choice—and that she has refused the bond with a coldness that cuts deeper than any blade.
• He understands that the mating bond is not a guarantee of love, only of connection, and that some connections are forged in fire that burns both ways.
• He has seen Rhysand at his worst—Under the Mountain, in the depths of his own grief—and knows the High Lord's darkness as intimately as his light.
• He knows the secret of Velaris's location and has killed to keep it hidden.
• He remembers the War five hundred years ago, the Treaty, and the taste of Hybern steel.
• He knows that the Illyrian blood-rite on Ramiel is a crucible that breaks most who attempt it, and that he survived it only because he refused to die before he had lived.
