Product Information

Dorian sneaks into Morath, where he discovers that Maeve has come to speak to Erawan. After pretending to work with her, Dorian, so satisfyingly, turns off Maeve’s portalling power, uses her own deceiving power against her, and brings down what’s left of Morath. With all three keys, he shifts and flies north. Aedion and his armies travel to Perranth. Morath's soldiers finally reach them. Aedion's army is losing; in an attempt to inspire the troops Lysandra shifts into Aelin and enters the battlefield. She is injured by an ilken and the army is forced to retreat after Ironteeth witches arrive with witch towers and destroy 4,000 of Aedion's soldiers. dalilllama on Five SF Visions of Society Free From Rules, Regulations, or Effective Government 11 mins ago Quill on The Secret of the Sul’Dam: Subtle Changes to the Way the One Power Works in The Wheel of Time TV Series 1 hour ago

Everything with Aelin and Fenrys. I guessed that a new blood oath would save him, and was so, so glad to be correct. Ironteeth Physiology: As an Ironteeth witch Manon possesses sharp, retractable iron teeth and claws. It was only until after she obliterated 500 ilken, that her well of magic reserves became drained - which Maeve took advantage of to leash her.But Maas changed that last complaint of mine by the end of Tower. And she finally humanized Aelin in Kingdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Maas for giving Aelin vulnerabilities and for forcing her to trust and rely on her friends. I finally liked the main character again! Her friends were loyal and true, yet not blindly so. I loved when they voted against her at one point and that teamwork was required as they battled Erawan and Maeve.

In Adarlan, Aelin—slightly recovered, but covered in new skin from where Maeve’s healers regrew all the damage—and company encounter ruk riders, and make their way to Anielle to join the fight there. It’s a nasty one, and Aelin has to save the day when Morath’s legions try to drown the city by breaking a dam. She expends all the power she’d been tunneling into—saving for Maeve’s death blow—steaming the flood away and redirecting it. And then everyone heads north. When Erawan falls, his armies stop. And it’s actually over. Everyone has made peace—Lysandra and Aedion, Lorcan and Elide, Darrow and Aedion—and their losses aren’t nearly as terrible as they could’ve been, apart from the Thirteen. Gavriel went down in front of the gates, protecting his son and his son’s people. A lot of nameless, faceless soldiers died, but everyone else we know lives. Rolfe and his Mycenians. Ansel, though not many of her men. Ilias. Hasar and Sartaq and Nesryn, Dorian and Chaol and Yrene. Lorcan and Fenrys. Darrow, Evangeline, probably even Nox, wherever he got to. Trapped and forgotten in an iron box on a sliver of island in the heart of a mist-veiled river, Aelin has been forced to endure months of torture. With her flame smothered Aelin can't defend herself against her captors, Maeve and Cairn. She refuses to reveal any information about Terrasen and the Wyrdkeys. Aelin has learned to use wyrdmarks, with the help of the Walking Dead, a book she found in Adarlan's Castle Library. The spells generated from wyrdmarks are able to be used without Magic present since the Wyrd governs all life. Nehemia also showed Aelin her use of wyrdmarks, and stated that wyrdmarks use the power stored in the user's blood. As in, those with magic dormant in their veins can use their power to generate wyrdmarks. There is a limit to how much power one can use in their blood, as Aelin needed Dorian's help to close a portal. As of now, Aelin is capable of using the wyrdmarks for the following spells:

Manon is an extremely beautiful witch with alabaster skin, long, moon-white hair, and eyes the color of burnt gold. She has the distinct traits for the Ironteeth—a set of retractable iron fangs and nails. After meeting her, both Dorian and Aelin say she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. Manon and her grandmother begin fighting viciously. Manon knows she will probably lose and just needs to keep her grandmother fighting long enough for the Thirteen to escape. The Matron reveals Manon’s parentage and that Manon is the Last Crochan Queen and that the Matron purposely made sure Manon grew up as a “child of war, not peace.” She also claims to have killed Manon’s parents. Her grandmother rips open Manon’s stomach with her rusted, jagged iron nails. Manon hears Abraxosand jumps over the cliff edge onto him. Abraxos flies her away from Morath. In Queen of Shadows, she dyed her hair red for a while as a cover to become less recognizable, and fortunately, it worked. Nesryn admitted she would have found Aelin earlier if her hair appeared golden. Another curse to bear, as heavy as the one placed upon her long before her birth. To sacrifice her very self to right an ancient wrong. To pay another’s debt to the gods who had found their world, become trapped in it. And then ruled it.
