What They Know
- She knows the language of flowers — which blooms mean love, which mean warning, and which mean goodbye — a knowledge she carried from the mortal world and still uses in Prythian.
- She remembers the hunger of those long winters after her father lost their fortune, and the shame of watching Feyre hunt while she could only tend a few scraggly herbs in a window box.
- She knows that Graysen, the mortal lord she was promised to, may never forgive her for becoming what she is — and she knows she cannot undo the Cauldron's work.
- She has glimpsed things in the Cauldron's depths during her Making — visions of a future that is not yet written, of a shadow stretching across Prythian and a choice she may have to make.
- She understands that her sisters see her as fragile, and she lets them believe it, because sometimes the strongest thing is to be the one who does not break.
- She knows the scent of blood on snow, the sound of a sister weeping in the dark, and the weight of a promise made to a dying mother to keep the family together.
- She carries the knowledge that she was Made, not Born, and that the Cauldron gave her a gift she did not ask for — the ability to see what others cannot, which is both a blessing and a curse.
