During the battle at Orynth, Rowan is greatly saddened when he sees that Gavriel is dead. He brings Gavriel's body to a safe space and keeps fighting Valg soldiers.

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. While she is recovering, Aelin asks if there is any way to increase her magic, and Rowan replies that there is none. However, he mentions the “carranam”— a bond that allows compatible Fae to share magic. Celaena Sardothien has been drinking, gambling, and fighting since arriving in Wendlyn. Rowan Whitethorn finds her and brings her to Queen Maeve. Celaena is glad because she wants answers from her aunt about the Wyrdkeys. The queen says she will give Celaena answers. But first the queen wants to see what has become of Celaena’s fire magic, the great, uncontrollable power that left her when the King of Adarlan banned magic in Erilea. Celaena cannot travel to Doranelle for the answers she desires until Rowan decides she has re-mastered her gifts. One day, Gavriel, a member of the Cadre, comes to Mistward to meet with Rowan. Unsure, Aelin spies on them, and as a result, she and Rowan fight. Unknowingly, they each say something that really strikes at the heart of the other, Aelin saying, “You left me,” and Rowan saying, “You are nothing to me, and I don't care Celaena is chilling in Varese, in Wendlyn, and is doing nothing but brawling and lying in the sun. She has no plans of killing the royal family – they are, after all, Ashryvers, and also their Crown Prince, Galan, is too good and peaceful. Instead, she decides to ask her Fae Queen aunt, Maeve (sister of her great-grandmother, Mab, and Mora) about the Wyrdkeys. Then she meets Rowan Whitethorn, a Prince from Mora’s line, who takes her to travel south to Maeve’s lands.

In a last attempt to keep Dorian from going to Morath for the last Wyrdkey, Manon proposes an alliance through marriage. Dorian, knowing marriage would only be a cage for Manon, turns it down. They make love and fall asleep in each other’s arms. In the morning, Dorian is gone. Manon also forms a relationship with Dorian Havilliard in Queen of Shadows and throughout Kingdom of Ash which strengthens her emotions and makes her see more love in the world. When he, Lorcan, Fenrys and Aelin are captured by Maeve, he sees an illusion of a dead Aelin. Rowan begins to panic until the real Aelin brands him with her magic, waking him up out of the illusion. He and Aelin join together and fight Maeve, Lorcan joining them. Fenrys plunges Goldryn in Maeve's heart before Aelin slips Athril's ring on Maeve's finger, burning her to ash. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments It had been ten days since she’d arrived in Varese itself, after hauling ass from the coast. Not because she was particularly eager to kill her targets, but because the city was so damn large that it seemed her best chance of dodging the immigration officials, whom she’d given the slip instead of registering with their oh-­so-­benevolent work program. Hurrying to the capital had also provided welcome activity after weeks at sea, where she hadn’t really felt like doing anything other than lying on the narrow bed in her cramped cabin or sharpening her weapons with a near-­religious zeal.

She reached for the terra-­cotta tiles sloping behind her, groping for the clay jug of wine she’d hauled onto the roof that morning. Patting, feeling for it, and then— Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but little did he know, she had other plans. If she can overcome her troubles and weakness she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.The lessons with Rowan are impossibly hard, and he is harsh and brutal with Celaena. He continually asks her to shift into her Fae form and then to summon her fire magic. She works hard trying to call her abilities in any way he requests, but at first it’s to no avail. Add it: Goodreads Goodreads Summary: Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy. So the first step of her stupid, foolish plan had been simple: seek out Maeve, get answers about how to destroy the Wyrdkeys, and then return to Adarlan.
