The Oracle of the Wood · The Truth-Bound · A Dreamer's Heart
The Suriel
“Stay with the High Lord, human. You will be safe.”
ACOTAR — the first prophecy
Older than the bones of the world. Bone-pale, robed in tatters, court-unaligned. Trap it and it cannot lie.
It knew before any of us did. And it died keeping a kindness.
