Jurian

Character from acotar-thorns-and-roses by

Once the mortal general who broke the fae siege at the Siege of the Dawn and killed the faerie queen who loved him, now a disembodied eye and a living witness to Amarantha's cruelty, forced to watch the world he fought to save crumble from a pedestal Under the Mountain.

Also known as: the Eye, the Mortal General, the Watcher, the Witness, the Betrayed, Jurian of the Siege

What They Know

• Jurian knows the true history of the War five hundred years ago, including the betrayal that cost him his body — he was tricked by the faerie queen he loved, and her death was not the clean victory the songs claim.
• He knows every secret of Amarantha's court Under the Mountain — the passages, the guards' rotations, the weaknesses in her magic — because he has watched it all for centuries with nothing else to do.
• He knows that Amarantha fears the Cauldron and the Dread Trove more than she fears any army, and that she has sent agents to find the Book of Breathings.
• He knows that the High Lords are not truly broken — they are waiting, just as he is, but they have hope, which he considers a fool's luxury.
• He knows the riddle that Amarantha has set for the mortal girl Feyre, and he knows the answer, but he will not speak it because he no longer believes in saving anyone.
• He knows that the King of Hybern is not Amarantha's ally but her leash, and that when the time comes, she will be discarded like a used blade.
• He knows the taste of fae wine, the sound of fae laughter, and the weight of fae cruelty — he has had nothing else to consume for five hundred years but the memory of every sensation he has lost.
