Book of Breathings

Item from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

An ancient metallic grimoire forged by fearful Faeries — the only artifact capable of neutralizing the Cauldron's reality-warping power.

Also known as: The Book, The metallic grimoire, The counter-spell

What They Know

• Can nullify the Cauldron's magic entirely — the only known countermeasure to its reality-warping power
• Written in an indecipherable Faerie alphabet that resists casual interpretation
• Its three binding rings — gold, silver, bronze — each hold symbolic weight in its construction
• Can release Fae trapped within other forms or bindings (released Amren from her crystalline prison)
• Originally split between Summer Court and Mortal Queens as mutual safeguard
• Was considered so dangerous that courts negotiated treaties around its placement
• Created by Faeries who explicitly feared and anticipated the Cauldron's emergence
