Lorcan Salvaterre

Five hundred years as the deadliest thing Maeve owned, and never once the thing she loved back.

Lorcan Salvaterre is the commander of Queen Maeve's Cadre in Throne of Glass — her blood-sworn second, wielding death-magic he believes the god Hellas gave him. He is also the man who loves so badly he nearly gets everyone killed proving it.
