Character from From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Casteel's older brother and true heir to Atlantia — captured by the Ascended for centuries, tortured, and bound to the Blood Queen by chains no one fully understands.
Malik is a ghost story that turned out to be alive. The brother Casteel has spent his entire life trying to rescue is still breathing — but whatever the Blood Queen did to him over those centuries changed him in ways that terrify everyone who remembers who he was. He is caught between the man he was and whatever Isbeth made him, his loyalty fractured across impossible lines.
Resembles Casteel but broader, with darker features and golden eyes that have gone flat and guarded. Handsome in a haunted way. Carries himself like someone accustomed to captivity.
Also known as: Malik, Prince Malik
