Evalin Ashryver

Evalin Ashryver

Everyone remembers whose fire Aelin carries. Almost no one remembers who used to put it out.

Evalin Ashryver is Aelin's mother and the first Ashryver to choose Terrasen, from Throne of Glass — a water-blooded princess of Wendlyn, granddaughter of the Fae Mab, who crossed the sea, defied a Fae queen to marry into a fire-blooded house, and died the night Adarlan came for all of them.

Rhoe Galathynius Her mate Rhoe GalathyniusHe was the reason a Wendlyn princess stayed in the cold — a Terrasen prince with the Bane at his back and a northern kingdom in his keeping. She left the sea and her southern court for him, and never once counted it a loss. When the end came for Terrasen, it came for the two of them together.Enter Rhoe Galathynius

What she loves

An Ashryver of Wendlyn

Aelin's mother, who crossed a line of blood and an ocean of it to stand in a Terrasen house.

  • Rhoe

    The prince she married, and the home she built far from her own shores.

  • Aelin

    The daughter she'd one day put her own body between and the blade.

  • Two peoples, one child

    Ashryver and Galathynius, Wendlyn and Terrasen, joined in her girl.

  • Wendlyn

    The homeland across the water she left behind to marry into a kingdom.

Her heart

Aelin

When the coup came for Terrasen, she put herself between her daughter and the end of it. She died shielding Aelin — and that girl lived because her mother chose her over her own life. Two peoples ran in that child, and Evalin made sure they'd both survive the night.

The long versionRead her whole storyEverything, in one place.Enter the full story
Terrasen The kingdom she chose TerrasenShe was Wendlyn-born — Ashryver blood, a warm southern court, the sea at her back — and she gave all of it up for a colder kingdom because a Terrasen prince had looked at her once and that was that. Terrasen was never her birthright. It was her choice. She made it again the night she died, with her body between the dark and her daughter.Enter Terrasen
