Evangeline

A courtesan house branded her at the wrist and priced her by her face. She ends the story as the named heir to the heart of a kingdom.

Evangeline is the scarred child Lysandra rescues from a courtesan house, from Throne of Glass — a girl sold by her own mother, saved by a deliberate cruelty, and carried all the way to Orynth. By the end she is Lord Darrow's chosen heir and one of Aelin's handmaidens at the coronation, the whole arc of the series folded into one small life.
