Bronwen Vanora

She had every reason to hate Manon Blackbeak — the Ironteeth killed the cousin she loved like a sister. She is also the one who threw Manon a second sword.

Bronwen Vanora is a Crochan witch and leader of the Vanora hearth clan, from Kingdom of Ash — Manon Blackbeak's distant kin and open enemy, keeper of an ancestor's ancient horn, whose grief for the last Crochan Queen turns, at the end, into the fury that rallies five thousand witches over Orynth.

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.
