What They Know
- Beron knows the precise terms of the curse that binds the Spring Court and the identity of its architect, Amarantha, and has weighed the cost of breaking it against the cost of letting it stand.
- He holds the location and some of the protections of the Book of Breathings, though he has never been able to access its full power.
- Beron is aware of the Night Court's two faces—the Court of Nightmares and the hidden city of Velaris—and has spent decades trying to discover Velaris's location without success.
- He knows that his wife, the Lady of Autumn, was once in love with Helion, High Lord of Day, and that one of his sons may not be his own blood.
- Beron remembers the War with Hybern five hundred years ago and the Treaty that followed, and he knows that the King of Hybern has never accepted defeat.
- He has a network of spies in every court, including within his own family, and he knows more about the private dealings of his fellow High Lords than any of them suspect.
- Beron knows the Dread Trove exists and has spent centuries searching for any scrap of information about its location or nature.
- He understands the mating bond as a political tool—a way to bind power, to secure alliances, and to punish enemies—and he has never felt its pull himself, which he considers a strength.
