Mab

Aelin's turquoise-and-gold eyes give her away as royalty in every book she's in. They came down a thousand-year line from a Fae queen who traded immortality for a mortal man.

Mab is the youngest of the three legendary Fae Sister-Queens and the founder of House Ashryver, from Throne of Glass — the fair swan-queen who fell for a human prince, gave up her immortality to grow old beside him, and became the goddess Deanna to the descendants she left behind. Her blood runs straight to Aelin and Aedion, in the eyes and the water and the fire.

What she loves

Youngest of three

History barely holds her; legend does the remembering, and it returns to the same few things.

  • The other two thrones

    Youngest of three queens who ruled when the Fae world was young — Mora, Mab, Maeve.

  • The Little Folk

    The small ones of the world keep her name; legend ties her to them as much as to any court.

  • The Fae, her people

    One of three who held the old Fae world between them; its people were hers.

  • The old world

    The first age of the Fae, before the borders and courts we know.

Her heart

The world she came from

She belongs to the first age of the Fae, when three sisters held the world between them. What she loved cannot be pulled loose from that world — the courts, the small folk, the sisters at her side. When it passed, the world kept her anyway, almost as a goddess.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — 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.
