General of Navarre · Storm-wielder · The mother who signed the order

Lilith Sorrengail

“Softer. Kinder. At least for her family.”

Fourth Wing — Rebecca Yarros

She sent her most fragile child into the deadliest quadrant in Navarre and didn't say goodbye. The reread is where you find out that was love — the coldest, most calculated love in the series.

General of Navarre. Storm-wielder. Violet's mother, in exactly that order — right up until the last night at Basgiath, when the order finally flipped and it cost her everything.
