What They Know

• He knows the exact weight of a bargain broken — he made one with Amarantha to save Feyre, and the cost of that bargain was fifty years of servitude and the near-destruction of his court.
• He knows that the mating bond can be refused, and that refusing it does not kill you — it only hollows you out from the inside, leaving a shell that still breathes.
• He knows where the Book of Breathings was hidden before it was split, and he knows the language of salt and starlight it was written in — a secret he has never told anyone, not even Rhysand.
• He knows that the land of the Spring Court is dying because he is dying, and that a High Lord who cannot heal himself cannot heal his territory.
• He knows that Feyre destroyed his court not out of malice, but out of love for someone else — and that knowledge is a poison he drinks every day.
• He knows that the Dread Trove is waking, and that the Mask, the Crown, and the Harp are not the only made things that hunger — there are older powers in Prythian that have never been found, and he has spent years not looking for them.
• He knows that Lucien will never forgive him, and that he does not deserve forgiveness — but he still leaves the gate open, just in case.
