Sartaq
He was the khagan's second son, never meant to inherit. Then he chose a foreign commoner for his empress — and his father named him Heir over the elder brother who'd done everything right.
Sartaq is the second-born prince of the khaganate and commander of the ruk riders, from Throne of Glass — the rukhin heir who falls for Nesryn Faliq, flies the great ruk Kadara, and brings a thousand riders north to fight for a queen he's never met. The warm one, in a book that badly needed warmth.
