Rhysand

Character from acotar-wings-and-ruin by

The High Lord of Night, a daemati and master of shadows, walks a razor's edge between velvet cruelty and fierce love as he rallies a fractured Prythian against Hybern's invasion.

He is the secret-keeper, the mask-wearer, the one who has spent fifty years under the Mountain playing the villain to save his people. Beneath the smirk and the cruelty he shows the world lies a soul forged in loss and love, a mind that plans ten moves ahead, and a heart that beats only for his mate, his family, and his hidden city.

Appearance

Tall and lithe, with raven-dark hair that falls in effortless waves and violet eyes that hold the weight of centuries—eyes that can shift from starlit warmth to the flat black of a predator in a heartbeat. He carries the powerful wings of an Illyrian, usually folded close, and dresses in the black and blue of the Night Court, a crown of tiny, living stars sometimes glimmering above his brow.

Also known as: Rhys, Rhysand, Lord of Night, High Lord of Night, the Night Court's High Lord, the Dark Lord, the Lord of Starfall, the Prince of Nightmares
