Dorian Havilliard

He was collared, worn and used for the better part of a book — and then he walked back into Morath on his own.

Crown Prince and then King of Adarlan, son of the man who conquered the continent. A Valg prince lived in him for most of Queen of Shadows, and the pale scar at his throat is the only part of it he lets show.

What he loves

Owned once. Never again.

He was owned once, completely, down to his own hands — so everything he holds onto now, he holds by choice.

His people
The ones his father spent on conquest and fear. He took the crown for them — to leave behind something that runs on neither.
Chaol
His oldest friend, still standing on the far side of everything that tried to break them both. A brother, never a subject.
Sorscha
The healer he loved in secret. His father had her beheaded to teach him what loving costs a prince. He still remembers her name.
The magic
Raw power — ice, and force enough to help unmake Erawan. His father outlawed magic and killed for the ban; Dorian spent a lifetime not allowed to be what he is. Now he is.

His heart

His own man

A Valg prince wore him like a suit — his own hands, someone else's will, and him locked inside watching them do the horror. He clawed his way back out. Everything he is now, he chose; no one will ever wear him again.

His kingdom AdarlanHe grew up in the glass castle at Rifthold — his father's seat, where magic was banned and the price was paid in blood — and watched it shatter the day magic came screaming back. Now Adarlan is his: a poisoned crown, a broken capital, a kingdom that only ever knew how to rule by fear. He took the throne he never wanted to unmake all of it — to free his people, not to own them.Enter Adarlan
