Summary
A half-human, half-High Fae woman born into slavery in the Black Land. She escaped with Drakon's help, healed for Jurian's human rebels in the old war, and later mated with Drakon. She died freeing slaves, was revived by an object of the Cauldron, and now co-rules Cretea, a hidden land where humans and faeries live side by side.

Before
- Born in the Black Land to a human mother and High Fae father, she is a slave there until the Queen gifts her to Prince Drakon, who helps her escape and break his engagement.
- She works as a healer in Jurian's human army, becomes his lover and befriends the Inner Circle, Morrigan most of all.
- She breaks with Jurian, falls for Drakon, and the two discover they are mates and wed on the same night.
- Amarantha captures her as bait for Drakon; Rhysand disobeys orders to free her, and his legion is destroyed and he is tortured for it.
- She marches with Drakon and Morrigan into the Black Land, frees fifty thousand slaves, and is speared by the Queen as the parted sea falls shut.
- Drakon revives her with a sacred object made by the Cauldron, which also grants her a Fae lifespan; they let the world think them dead and settle Cretea.
- Rhysand visits the couple once, 351 years before the war with Hybern.
- After border trouble, she casts a spell that hides Cretea from outsiders, borrowing an idea from Velaris.
