Lord of Bloodshed · The Night Court

Cassian

“I will find you again in the next world — the next life. And we will have that time. I promise.”

Cassian · A Court of Wings and Ruin

Blood and steel, on black.

Bastard-born in the war-camps, now General Commander of the Night Court's armies. All armour, all grin, and we know exactly what's underneath.

His mate Nesta ArcheronHe knew from the first moment, and waited years for her to stop fighting it. He trained her into a Valkyrie, and when Briallyn's Crown ordered him to kill her, he turned the blade on himself instead. The one thing he'd die before losing. His mate.Enter Nesta Archeron

His home House of WindHe was born at a war-camp and left there — a laundress's son with no name worth keeping, worked and clipped and never once handed a home. Now he lives in a house carved into the red mountain over Velaris, ten thousand steps up. The bastard from Windhaven, finally home.Enter the House of Wind

Kindred steel

Not his brothers — but cut from the same loyal, lethal cloth.

Garrick Tavis Xaden's right hand — the warrior who'd stand in the fire for his own, same as Cassian.

Liam Mairi The one who takes the blow meant for someone he loves. You know the type. It ruins you.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Cassian on a shirt without knowing the eight-pointed star on his back runs its points out onto his wings — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
