Feyre passes the trials however Amarantha does not concede because she never specified when she’d let them go even if Feyre beat the trials. Feyre, however at this point, solves the riddle Amarantha asked initially.

Enraged, Amarantha kills Feyre. But for what she gave to save Prythian, each High Lord gives a piece of their essence, resurrecting her as High Fae.

Feyre is traumatized by what she had to do and endure. After sharing a goodbye with Rhysand, she returns to the Spring Court with Tamlin, trying to heal, move on, and learn to live as High Fae.

Feyre returns to the Spring Court with Tamlin and Lucien, pretending to not remember her time with Rhysand in the Night Court.

Only then, it is revealed that Feyre and Rhysand is married and he has made her The High Lady of the Night Court. Feyre returns to the Spring Court as a spy to take down the Spring Court from within and learn all she can about the King of Hybern’s plans.

In A Court of Wings and Ruin, Feyre pretends to be freed from Rhysand’s influence as she works undercover to learn everything she can about Hybern’s plans and undermine the Spring Court from within.

She protects the inhabitants of the Spring Court Manor from the influence of the Hybern Prince and Princess, sabotages Ianthe’s rituals, earns the trust of the Spring Court sentries, riles Tamlin into losing his temper and hurting her, and flirts with Lucien to provoke Tamlin’s jealousy.

When she discovers Hybern’s plan to break the wall, Feyre makes her move. She finds Lucien trapped by Ianthe, seizes control of Ianthe’s mind, forces her to shatter her hand, and compels her to never touch another male without consent again. Feyre then escapes with Lucien.

The two travel across hostile court boundaries, eventually getting chased down by Eris and two of Lucien’s brothers. They’re rescued just in time by Cassian and Azriel and return to the Night Court.

Feyre visits her sisters, trying to help them adjust to life as Fae, while she and Rhysand work to secure alliances with other courts. Feyre attempts to strike a bargain with the Bone Carver, who agrees to help them in the coming war if she can retrieve the Ouroboros mirror. She also bargains with Bryaxis, the ancient monster in the library beneath the House of Wind, convincing it to fight alongside them.

Feyre begins training with Illyrian wings, and Azriel attempts to teach her how to fly.

When Adriata is attacked, Feyre joins the Night Court’s response force to help defend the city.

During the High Lords’ meeting in the Dawn Court, Feyre publicly reveals herself as the High Lady of the Night Court. She also loses her temper and reveals that she possesses an ember of power from each High Lord.

When the Winter Court is attacked, Elain is taken hostage by the King of Hybern. Feyre and Azriel go to rescue her, succeeding with the unexpected help of Jurian. As Feyre escapes, it’s Tamlin who gives her the power she needs to fly away.

Just before the final battle on the human lands, Feyre lifts the glamour hiding the Bone Carver, revealing that she has looked into the Ouroboros.

During the chaos of the final battle, Amren discovers how to nullify the Cauldron and asks Feyre to place her hands on it. Feyre becomes trapped and witnesses the King of Hybern kill her father, Cassian get seriously injured, and Elain kill the King of Hybern. When the Cauldron releases her, Feyre is about to attack Amren—until Amren reveals that the only way to win is to release her true form. Feyre unbinds her.

The Cauldron explodes, activating Prythian’s “kill switch.” Feyre and Rhysand combine their powers to mend it, but Rhysand dies in the process. Feyre convinces the other High Lords to each give a seed of their power to bring him back to life.

Feyre and her sisters later attend a small funeral for their father, and Feyre leads a meeting to establish lasting peace between mortals and Fae.

After the war, Feyre is seen drinking in Velaris with her friends, and flying over the city with her mate, Rhysand.

After the war, Feyre is seen drinking in Velaris with her friends, and flying over the city with her mate, Rhysand.

After the war, Feyre fully steps into her role as High Lady of the Night Court and begins helping rebuild Velaris, especially focusing on the Rainbow, the city’s vibrant art district. While assisting with the reconstruction, she comes across a demolished studio. A faerie named Ressina, who remembers Feyre from her defense of the Rainbow during the first Hybern attack, invites her to a weekly sip-and-paint night.

Feyre isn’t ready to paint in front of others yet, so she quietly returns to the ruined studio to paint in secret.

As Winter Solstice approaches, Feyre, Elain, and Nesta go shopping. During the outing, Feyre meets Aranea, a faerie widow who lost her husband in the war and shares her sorrow over never having had children with him. Feyre also tries to reconnect with Nesta, who has been isolating herself since the war.

Eventually, Feyre buys the destroyed studio and starts offering art lessons to anyone who wants to learn, working alongside Ressina to restore creativity and joy to the city.

Wanting to give Rhysand the most meaningful Solstice gift she can think of, Feyre makes a decision—she wants to have a baby.

Wanting to give Rhysand the most meaningful Solstice gift she can think of, Feyre makes a decision—she wants to have a baby.

Feyre is still dealing with the aftermath of the war, battling nightmares and PTSD. She’s also struggling to connect with Nesta, who is carrying her own trauma. When Nesta crosses a final line, it’s Feyre who delivers an ultimatum: either go to the House of Wind to pull herself back together, or be sent to live in the mortal lands.

Shortly after this, Feyre discovers she’s pregnant. However, because the baby was conceived while Feyre had her Illyrian wings, the child also has wings—something Feyre’s anatomy isn’t equipped to handle. Rhysand, aware of the dangers, chooses not to tell Feyre, hoping to find a solution before she has to know the truth.

When tensions rise, Nesta—furious—reveals the pregnancy complications to Feyre. After some time and healing, Nesta apologizes, and Feyre forgives her.

Feyre eventually goes into labor, and both she and the baby are at risk of dying. In a desperate moment, Nesta bargains with the Cauldron, offering to return what she took from it in exchange for Feyre’s life. As a result, Feyre’s body is altered, allowing her to survive the birth.

She gives birth to her son, Nyx.

Feyre and her mate begin a new chapter, living happily with their baby boy.

Lucien is the Emissary of the Spring Court and Tamlin’s best friend. He is witty, snarky, and sarcastic in general. Initially not fond of Feyre, Lucien regularly demeans her mortality and taunts her. He is permanently stuck with a fox mask on his face. Lucien is the son of the High Lord of Autumn and the Lady of the Autumn Court. After losing the love of his life, Lucien fled to the Spring Court and took up the position of Emissary under Tamlin.

After losing the love of his life, Lucien fled to the Spring Court and took up the position of Emissary under Tamlin.

Lucien tolerates Feyre’s arrival to Prythian at best. He gives her information about how to trap the Suriel to get the answers she’s looking for, but he doesn’t go and help Feyre when she’s attacked by naga despite claiming he’d be around. When Rhysand appears in Spring Court, he tries to glamour Feyre to hide her but fails.

During Feyre’s trials under the mountain, Lucien heals her a few times and is trapped with her in the twisted blade pit.

Like Tamlin, Lucien is able to take off his mask when Feyre solves Amarantha’s riddle. After the curse if broken he returns to the Spring Court with Tamlin and Feyre.

After Under the Mountain, Lucien returns to the Spring Court with Feyre and Tamlin. As Tamlin’s second, Lucien tries to lead by example. He attempts to keep Feyre company as much as possible but is often pulled into Spring Court affairs by Tamlin. As Tamlin imposes increasingly strict conditions on Feyre for her “safety,” Lucien makes half-hearted efforts to persuade Tamlin to give Feyre more freedom.

When Tamlin locks Feyre in the house to prevent her from leaving, Lucien does not intervene. After Feyre escapes, Tamlin becomes distraught and sends Lucien and his sentries to track Feyre into Night Court territory.

Lucien and the sentries encounter Feyre in the Illyrian mountains while she trains with Rhys. Lucien attempts to grab Feyre against her will, but Feyre fends him off.

Later, when Feyre and the Inner Circle infiltrate Hybern to neutralize the Cauldron, it is revealed that Tamlin and Lucien have formed an alliance with Hybern to get Feyre back.

Lucien is unaware of Ianthe’s scheme to transform Feyre’s sisters into Fae using the Cauldron. He tries to oppose it but fails. When Elain emerges from the Cauldron, Lucien covers her with his jacket, and the mating bond between them snaps into place when he looks at her.

After Feyre fakes being released from Rhysand’s control and returns to the Spring Court at the end of A Court of Mist and Fury, Lucien appears skeptical of Feyre’s behavior.

Tamlin is a warrior and the High Lord of the Spring Court. After Feyre kills a faerie wolf, he shows up in his beast form—with the body of a bear, the head of a wolf, and elk horns—to take Feyre to live in Prythian as reparation. Tamlin is broody and mysterious but also very generous. Constantly having to deal with the dangers and threats of Prythian, Tamlin regularly sets out to dispatch threats to his land and is trying to save his lands from a mysterious blight that threatens to swallow Prythian. Tamlin wears a golden mask due to the curse from the blight that covers top half of his face.

Amarantha is obsessed with Tamlin, but he never shows interest in her. Unlike the other High Lords, Tamlin’s curse is unique—until he can make a human who hates fae so much that she kills one out of pure hatred fall in love with him, he cannot break the curse. When Feyre kills Andras, Tamlin brings her to Prythian and begins courting her.

The two eventually fall in love, but Tamlin cannot risk Feyre staying in danger, knowing that Amarantha would kill her without hesitation. To protect her, he sends Feyre back to her mortal family, whom he glamours into believing they have regained their wealth.

When Feyre returns to save him from Amarantha, she finds Tamlin seated on a dais beside her, practically stone-faced. Tamlin forces himself to remain indifferent to keep Amarantha from turning her wrath on Feyre. He watches as Feyre faces trials never once risking helping her.

When Feyre solves the riddle, Amarantha is enraged and kills her. Watching her murder the woman he loves, Tamlin finally regains his full power as Feyre’s answer shatters the curse. He kills Amarantha in his rage. Tamlin then gives a part of his essence to Feyre, remaking her as High Fae.

Tamlin returns to the Spring Court with Feyre, ready to heal and rebuild.

Tamlin is a warrior and the High Lord of the Spring Court. After Feyre kills a faerie wolf, he shows up in his beast form—with the body of a bear, the head of a wolf, and elk horns—to take Feyre to live in Prythian as reparation. Tamlin is broody and mysterious but also very generous. Constantly having to deal with the dangers and threats of Prythian, Tamlin regularly sets out to dispatch threats to his land and is trying to save his lands from a mysterious blight that threatens to swallow Prythian.

Tamlin returns to the Spring Court with Feyre, ready to heal and rebuild.

Three months after Under the Mountain, Tamlin is back at the Spring Court, trying to rebuild while healing from the horrors of Amarantha’s reign. He proposes to Feyre, and she accepts. He tries to reestablish control of the Spring Court, showing a united front to the outside world.

However, Tamlin is suffering from severe PTSD from the events under the mountain. Having watched Feyre die at Amarantha’s hands, he becomes overprotective and increasingly controlling toward her. His anger issues intensify, especially when it comes to Feyre’s safety, and his protectiveness slowly begins to suffocate her. Both Tamlin and Feyre are haunted by nightmares, and Tamlin often shifts into his beast form, standing guard at the edge of their bed at night.

Tamlin is also deeply worried about Feyre’s growing powers. Fearing the other High Lords would kill her if they knew she held pieces of their power, he refuses to let her train. Instead, Tamlin orders her abilities hidden.

While patrolling the Spring Court and hunting leftover creatures of Amarantha, Tamlin assigns Ianthe, a childhood friend, to spend time with Feyre and teach her High Fae etiquette.

On their wedding day, when Feyre hesitates at the altar and Rhysand winnows in to call the bargain, Tamlin does not fight back, though he is desperate to find a way to break the bargain. His fear of Rhysand, combined with his obsession to protect Feyre, drives him to increasingly extreme measures.

Tamlin reinstates the Tithe, a tax on his people, and shows little mercy to those who cannot pay. When Feyre gives her jewelry to a water wraith so she can meet her Tithe, Tamlin is furious, leading to a heated argument. Later, to make amends, Tamlin gifts Feyre a painting set. When Feyre flinches at the sight of the paints, overwhelmed by trauma, Tamlin loses control and destroys his office in a violent rage. Feyre, instinctively using her new High Lord powers to shield herself, is left terrified of Tamlin.

When a new threat arises in the Spring Court, Tamlin and Lucien prepare to hunt it down. Feyre, stifled by her gilded cage of a life, begs Tamlin to let her join. Tamlin refuses. When Feyre defies him, Tamlin responds by placing an impenetrable shield around the house, locking her inside.

After Morrigan comes to break Feyre out, Tamlin returns to find Feyre gone. In a fit of rage, he kills all the sentries on duty and destroys the manor. He sends Lucien, Bron, and Hart to search for Feyre in the Night Court, convinced she has been taken against her will.

Seeking desperate measures, Tamlin uses Ianthe’s connections to make contact with the King of Hybern. In exchange for helping track Feyre and break her bargain with Rhysand, Tamlin allows Hybern to invade the mortal lands, break the wall, and use the Spring Court as a foothold. Tamlin agrees to the terms.

When the Inner Circle infiltrates Hybern’s castle, Tamlin reveals himself as an ally of Hybern, all to win Feyre back. Feyre is disgusted by Tamlin’s willingness to sell out Prythian, but Tamlin is blinded by desperation. When the King of Hybern breaks the bargain between Feyre and Rhysand, Tamlin believes the mating bond is broken as well, though reluctantly.

Tamlin returns to the Spring Court with Feyre, deliriously happy to have her back. So eager to believe in his second chance, he fails to notice the holes in her story and does not realize Feyre has returned as a spy—and the High Lady of the Night Court.

Tamlin and Feyre return to the Spring Court, with Tamlin reluctantly excited to have Feyre back. Unbeknownst to him, Feyre is undercover, working to take down the Spring Court from within.

Tamlin, honoring his bargain with Hybern, welcomes the King of Hybern’s commanders, Dagdan and Brannagh, into his court—though he is clearly displeased. He arranges for them to inspect the weak spots along the wall, allowing Feyre and Lucien to escort them.

Tamlin also allows Feyre to sit in court meetings, promising her that things would be different this time. Meanwhile, Feyre begins quietly turning the Spring Court against Tamlin. First, she places herself in compromising positions with Lucien, fracturing their friendship. Then she adorns herself to the sentries, earning their loyalty and subtly undermining Tamlin’s authority. When Tamlin punishes the sentries unjustly, Feyre plants ideas in their minds—suggesting that Feyre fled because Tamlin allowed the Hybern commanders to harm her.

After Feyre escapes the Spring Court, Tamlin’s court collapses.

Tamlin later attends the High Lords’ meeting in the Dawn Court. He reveals that he was never truly allied with the King of Hybern but was acting as a spy, attempting to gather information about Hybern’s plans. However, during the meeting, he also undermines Feyre by tarnishing her character. Despite the tension, all the courts agree to join the alliance against Hybern, except for the Autumn Court.

During the rescue mission where Feyre and Azriel attempt to save Elain from Hybern’s camp, it is Tamlin who boosts Feyre’s power, allowing her to fly to safety with her sister.

In the final battle, Tamlin’s forces fight alongside the other courts. After Rhysand sacrifices his power to mend the Cauldron and dies, Feyre begs each High Lord for help. Tamlin, after a moment’s hesitation, gives a kernel of his power to bring Rhysand back to life—telling Feyre to be happy and finally letting her go.

After the war, Tamlin attends the meeting at the ruins of the Archeron estate to renegotiate a new treaty, after which he quickly retreats back to the Spring Court, broken and alone.

After the war, Tamlin is utterly destroyed. His court is in ruins, his PTSD overwhelming him, and he is unable to cope with what he did to Feyre. The Spring Court manor stands abandoned and desolate, and Tamlin lives alone, as most of his court members continue to harbor prejudice against him thanks to Feyre’s efforts.

Lucien attempts to visit him but eventually stops after Tamlin asks him not to.

Rhysand begins visiting Tamlin to prevent Prythian from falling apart, but Tamlin is antagonistic and nearly violent toward him. Since Beron is considering invading the mortal lands, and Tamlin is the only lord standing between Beron and Prythian’s mortal territory, Rhysand offers to station Illyrian warriors at the Spring Court. Tamlin refuses but agrees to allow Tarquin’s soldiers to patrol his lands instead.

Near the end of A Court of Frost and Starlight, Rhysand visits Tamlin again. Tamlin asks if Feyre could ever forgive him, but Rhysand cannot give him an answer. Tamlin then asks if Rhysand could ever forgive him for the deaths of his mother and sister. Rhysand replies that while Feyre might eventually forgive, he never will, and that Tamlin deserves everything that has happened to him. Rhysand leaves Tamlin alone and abandoned in the ruins of the Spring Court.

In A Court of Silver Flames, the story shifts focus to Nesta and Cassian, so Tamlin is not very present.

Tamlin remains unable to overcome his guilt and grief. He spends most of his time staying in his beast form, letting the Spring Court grow as wild and untamed as he has become. As Tamlin descends deeper into the beast within, the court around him falls into chaos.

Rhysand visits Tamlin regularly to keep him in check, ensuring that the balance of Prythian remains stable even as Tamlin struggles to hold on to what little is left of himself.

Rhysand is the High Lord of the Night Court. He’s known as cunning, cruel, and manipulative. He is incredibly powerful, if not the most powerful male in Prythian. Tamlin and Rhysand have a conflict going back years, and before ACOTAR, Rhysand is a de facto enemy of the Spring Court. He is feared and almost universally hated by most of Prythian.

Rhysand first meets Feyre at Calanmai. He then later visits Spring Court to check in on Tamlin and Lucien to mock them. He also takes insult that Lucien tried to glamour her away from him and makes them both bow in front of him before leaving. When he asks for her name, Feyre lies and gives Claire Beddor’s name — which Rhysand passes to Amarantha.

When Feyre arrives Under the Mountain she discovers that Rhysand is Amarantha’s lover.

During Feyre’s first trial Rhysand bets on her. When Feyre’s injuries from her battle with the Middengard Wyrm proves to be severe and infected, Rhysand offers a bargain to her. In exchange for healing her, Feyre must spend one week of every month of the rest of her life in Night Court. Not having another choice, Feyre agrees. He gives Feyre a tattoo on one of her arms to seal the bargain. During the second trial, Rhysand discovers Feyre is illitrate and helps her figure out which lever to pull to get herself and Lucien out of the trap. After the third trial, when Amarantha’s attacks Feyre, Rhysand is the only one who tries to fight back against her.

Once Amarantha is dead, Rhysand and Feyre meet up on a balcony to say goodbye. Rhysand reveals he has wings and loves flying. The two of them bid goodbye and Rhysand returns to the Night Court.

When he asks for her name, Feyre lies and gives Claire Beddor’s name — which Rhysand passes to Amarantha.

When Feyre arrives Under the Mountain she discovers that Rhysand is Amarantha’s lover.

During Feyre’s first trial Rhysand bets on her. When Feyre’s injuries from her battle with the Middengard Wyrm proves to be severe and infected, Rhysand offers a bargain to her. In exchange for healing her, Feyre must spend one week of every month of the rest of her life in Night Court. Not having another choice, Feyre agrees. He gives Feyre a tattoo on one of her arms to seal the bargain. During the second trial, Rhysand discovers Feyre is illitrate and helps her figure out which lever to pull to get herself and Lucien out of the trap. After the third trial, when Amarantha’s attacks Feyre, Rhysand is the only one who tries to fight back against her.

Once Amarantha is dead, Rhysand and Feyre meet up on a balcony to say goodbye. Rhysand reveals he has wings and loves flying. The two of them bid goodbye and Rhysand returns to the Night Court.

Despite his bargain with Feyre and their reluctant alliance Under the Mountain, Rhysand doesn’t come to collect her immediately. He disappears to the Night Court, and three months pass.

When Feyre begs for anyone to save her during her wedding, Rhysand winnows in and calls in the bargain. Feyre expects a dungeon but instead finds herself in a palace atop a mountain, treated like a guest rather than a prisoner. Rhysand begins teaching her to read and shield her mind, while gently encouraging her to work with him in the looming conflict with Hybern.

Their bargain continues for several months, with Rhysand coming to collect Feyre for a week at a time. Despite his efforts, Feyre continues to withdraw, haunted by her trauma and struggling to feel safe.

When Tamlin locks Feyre inside the manor, Rhysand shatters the shield keeping her in and takes her back to the Night Court. When Feyre says she doesn’t want to be alone, he brings her to a secret Night Court city: Velaris.

It’s revealed that Rhysand’s cruel demeanor was a mask to protect his people. In truth, he is adored by them. He names Feyre the emissary to the human lands and tells her she is welcome to stay in Velaris for as long as she wishes.

As tensions with Hybern rise, Feyre and Rhysand begin working together to plan for its inevitable attack. They visit the Bone Carver in the Prison, learning that the Book of Breathings can be used to nullify the Cauldron.

Feyre, Rhysand, and Amren later travel to the Summer Court to steal the Fae half of the Book. A friendship begins forming between Rhysand and Tarquin, only to be shattered when Tarquin discovers they’ve stolen the book.

When Hybern starts tracking Rhys’s magic, the group retreats to an Illyrian war camp. There, Rhysand continues training Feyre, helping her explore her new abilities and begin healing from her trauma Under the Mountain.

While training in the Illyrian mountains, Lucien finally tracks Feyre down. Feyre fends him off, grows wings, and flies—much to Rhysand’s delight. That night, they stay at an inn, where they begin to confess their feelings and finally hook up.

The next morning, while flying, Rhysand begins telling Feyre his final story—only to be shot from the sky and captured by Hybern. Feyre rescues him, but he’s been poisoned. She finds the Suriel, who reveals that Rhysand is her mate. Feyre heals him but leaves to process the revelation.

After a few days of recovery, Rhysand flies to his family’s cabin, where Feyre is staying. He tells her everything—and the two of them finally mate.

When Hybern attacks Velaris, the Inner Circle decides to infiltrate Hybern’s castle to nullify the Cauldron. But they’re ambushed by the King of Hybern and Jurian, who nullify everyone’s powers. Feyre breaks through the wards, allowing them to escape, and pretends to be free of Rhysand’s control.

Rhysand lets his mate return to the Spring Court. When Amren and Mor confront him, demanding why he let her go, Rhysand reveals the final twist: the night before, he and Feyre were secretly married, and he named her High Lady of the Night Court. Feyre isn’t just his mate—she’s also his wife, his High Lady, and his spy.

Rhysand is the High Lord of the Night Court. He’s known as cunning, cruel, and manipulative. He is incredibly powerful, if not the most powerful male in Prythian. Tamlin and Rhysand have a conflict going back years, and before ACOTAR, Rhysand is a de facto enemy of the Spring Court. He is feared and almost universally hated by most of Prythian.

Feyre isn’t just his mate—she’s also his wife, his High Lady, and his spy.

While Feyre is spying in the Spring Court, Rhysand steps in to handle Azriel’s usual duties while he heals—spying on the mortal queens on the Continent. When Feyre escapes the Spring Court and senses him, Rhysand sends Cassian and Azriel to retrieve her, as he’s still away.

They reunite in Velaris, and Rhysand allows Lucien to stay in the Night Court. He takes Feyre to visit her sisters, Nesta and Elain, who are living in the House of Wind.

Rhysand and the Inner Circle continue planning for the war against Hybern. When Hybern’s two Ravens attempt to kidnap Nesta and Feyre, Rhysand brutally kills them in retaliation.

After Adriata is attacked, Rhysand mobilizes Night Court forces to assist. While Tarquin remains cold toward them, he rescinds the blood rubies, signaling a fragile truce.

At the High Lords’ meeting in the Dawn Court Palace, Rhysand finally reveals that his cold, cruel persona was a carefully crafted mask to protect his people. When Tamlin insults Feyre publicly, Rhysand lashes out by stripping Tamlin of his ability to speak.

When the war begins, Rhysand is at the center of it all. Alongside the gathered armies—and with the unexpected support of forces Feyre’s father raised in the mortal lands—Rhysand reveals another secret weapon: he made a bargain with Stryga, the Weaver, to fight alongside them.

They win the war thanks to Amren breaking her mortal form’s binding, destroying the Cauldron in the process. Rhysand and Feyre merge their powers to repair it.

Rhysand dies in the effort.

In the aftermath, Feyre convinces all the High Lords to give a seed of their power to resurrect him. They agree—and Rhysand is brought back to life, but only with his original powers.

At the end of the book, Feyre and Rhysand begin negotiating a new treaty with the mortal realm. Afterward, he’s seen drinking with his friends in Velaris, and flying over the city with Feyre—his mate, High Lady, and partner in both war and peace.

After the war, life begins to return to something resembling normal for Rhysand. When the Ironcrest Warlord begins rebelling in Illyria, Rhysand works with Cassian to crush the uprising.

With Winter Solstice approaching, Rhysand finds himself at a loss for what to gift Feyre.

In an effort to hold Prythian together, he pays a visit to the Spring Court, only to find Tamlin’s estate abandoned and Tamlin himself in a state of deep, bitter depression. When Tamlin asks if Feyre could ever forgive him, Rhysand responds that she might—but he never will.

Eventually, Rhysand surprises Feyre by purchasing a large estate on the Sidra River, which they name River House. The two of them begin trying for a baby, ready to start a new chapter of peace, family, and healing.

Feyre and Rhysand make a bargain, when one of them dies, the other one will go with them so they never have to be apart again.

Feyre and Rhysand make a bargain, when one of them dies, the other one will go with them so they never have to be apart again.

Feyre becomes pregnant—but the baby has Illyrian wings, making it a dangerous pregnancy. Rhysand, desperate to protect her, chooses not to tell Feyre the truth, hoping to find a solution before she ever has to find out.

When Feyre learns about the pregnancy complications from Nesta, she is furious with Rhysand. Rhysand, overwhelmed with guilt and fear, becomes enraged at Nesta and briefly contemplates killing her for putting Feyre under stress.

One night, as spring dawns over Velaris, Feyre—now two months from giving birth—shares a quiet moment with Rhysand on a balcony. A red star streaks across the sky, and Rhysand sees it for what it truly is.
Sarah J. Maas universe spoilers: || The red star is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, passing through the worlds. Rhysand slows the star, sensing she’s in trouble—this small act helps Aelin find her way back to Rowan. ||

Feyre goes into labor, and Madja delivers the baby. Though the baby, Nyx, survives, Feyre begins to lose too much blood. Her life hangs by a thread. Cassian and Azriel drag Rhysand away to give Madja space to try and save her.

It’s Nesta who saves Feyre, Rhysand, and Nyx by offering to give her powers back to the Cauldron in exchange for her sister’s life.

Afterward, Rhysand falls to his knees and kisses Nesta’s hands in gratitude. He showers her with thanks—and gifts—including giving her the House of Wind. He even begins planning Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony.

In the end, Rhysand, Feyre, and their son Nyx begin their happily ever after, surrounded by family, rebuilding peace, and flying high over Velaris.

Cassian is part of Rhys’s inner circle and is the commander of Night Court armies. He’s an Illyrian warrior. Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel grew up together.

Cassian is part of Rhys’s inner circle and is the commander of Night Court armies. He’s an Illyrian warrior. Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel grew up together.

Throughout A Court of Mist and Fury Cassian and Feyre bond, both having been at the brink of starvation in their younger years. They become fast friends due to Cassian’s easy going nature. Cassian begins training Feyre, giving her an outlet to work out her PTSD from Under the Mountain.

When the Mortal Queens visit the Archeron Estate, Cassian accompanies Rhys, Feyre and Azriel. Cassian has an instant spark with Nesta. When the human queens reject their alliance and refuse to protect the human lands in Prythian, Cassian vows to protect the human lands.

During the Inner Circle’s infiltration attempt to the King of Hybern’s castle, Cassian has his wings shredded.

Azriel is an Illyrian warrior and is a member of Rhyh’s inner circle. He is Night Court’s spy master. Rhysand, Azriel and Cassian grew up together.

He is a bastard born son of an Illyrian Warlord. He was kept in a cell with no windows or lights for years and he didn’t learn to fly until later. His hands are scarred from the cruel treatment of his step siblings during that time. He eventually met Rhysand and Cassian whom formed an alliance with him to survive the Illyrian war camps.

Azriel has the ability to speak with shadows giving him the title The Shadowsinger. He’s quiet, reserved but observes everything. Throughout ACOMAF, Azriel tries to break into the palace of the human queens to get information on their half of the Book of Breathings.

Amren is an ancient creature stuck in the body of a fae. She is the second in command of the Night Court.

Amren is an ancient creature stuck in the body of a fae. She is the second in command of the Night Court.

Amren spends A Court Of Mist and Fury trying to decode the Book of Breathing in order to nullify the Cauldron and find a way to go back to her home realm. She helps Feyre in her own way, like offering a necklace to Feyre claiming it’ll help her get out of the Prison. When Velaris gets attacked, Amren takes down the flying units by just pointing at them.

Morrigan (Mor) is part of Rhysand’s Inner Circle and his cousin. Morrigan runs the daily operations of the Night Court. She is also Rhysand’s Third-In-Command.

Morrigan (Mor) is part of Rhysand’s Inner Circle and his cousin. Morrigan runs the daily operations of the Night Court. She is also Rhysand’s Third-In-Command.

Morrigan is at the Night Court when Rhysand calls in his bargain. From the beginning, she’s welcoming to Feyre and tries to become her friend with her bubbly, easygoing personality.

When Tamlin locks Feyre in the manor, Mor—under Rhysand’s orders—knocks out Spring Court guards and carries Feyre out of the Spring Court and into Summer Court territory.

As Feyre begins healing in the Night Court, Morrigan becomes like a sister to her. As Rhysand’s cousin and Second-in-Command, Mor handles the logistics and diplomacy of the Night Court, especially managing the delicate balance between the Court of Nightmares and the Court of Dreams.

When she was 17 and first bled, Morrigan’s father betrothed her to Eris Vanserra, the Autumn Court’s heir, to secure an alliance. Wanting her own freedom, Mor slept with Cassian, someone considered beneath High Fae by most outside the Night Court. When her family found out, they nailed a note to her stomach that said “She’s your problem now” and dumped her at the Spring Court border. Eris abandoned her, and it was Azriel who found her and brought her home. The two have shared a tense, slow-burning relationship ever since.

When the Inner Circle meets with the Mortal Queens, Mor joins them. The queens recognize her as The Morrigan—the legendary figure who fought beside their ancestors in the same war.

Morrigan’s gift is truth.

Elain is the middle Archeron sister. She has the mildest disposition of the three Archeron sisters. Feyre describes her as the prettiest of the three. Elain is the only one of the three sisters who takes care of their father. She enjoys gardening, growing flowers and vegetables when she can.

Due to Tamlin’s glamour after he takes Feyre to Prythian, Elain thinks Feyre’s gone to tend to their sick aunt. When Feyre returns, she tells her she wants to go to the Continent with their father next time he travels. When the news of the Beddor family reaches them the glamour breaks and Elain remembers everything.
