High Lord of the Summer Court · The Youngest High Lord
Tarquin
The nicest High Lord in Prythian, and we repaid him with a Book theft. Youngest of the seven, crown shaped like a cresting wave, a kinder Prythian on his mind. We feel terrible about it.
Rich brown skin, white hair, turquoise eyes, a reformer's heart in a sea-king's body. The one ally Feyre and Rhys genuinely liked — and wronged anyway. We're not over it.
