Character from From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Poppy's adoptive mother who knew the truth about her daughter's divine origins and died keeping the secret.
Coralena raised Poppy with fierce, quiet love in a world that would have destroyed the child if it knew what she truly was. Wife of a king, mother to Ian by blood and Poppy by choice, she understood the danger of the Blood Queen's interest in her adoptive daughter. She carried secrets that could have toppled kingdoms and chose to die with them rather than risk Poppy's safety.
Warm and maternal. Dark hair, kind eyes. Remembered by Poppy as safety and soft hands — a contrast to every cold, beautiful Ascended face that came after.
Also known as: Coralena, Cora
