Part 3: “High Lady”

Part 3, Chapter 51 Summary

Rhys, Cassian, Azriel, Mor, Feyre, Elain, and Nesta arrive at the war camp. Elain asks if many of the soldiers will die, and Feyre sadly confirms they will. Feyre, Mor, and Nesta prepare Elain for her encounter with Graysen: Elain will wear a glamour, a magical illusion, to appear human.

While Cassian remains with his army, the others winnow to Graysen’s father’s estate.

Part 3, Chapter 52 Summary

Graysen’s family estate is a fortress designed to deter and defend against faeries, complete with an ash grove for making weapons. The group is not admitted past the gates; Graysen will ride out to meet Elain. In the cramped guardhouse, Nesta tells Feyre she feels claustrophobic after being put in the Cauldron; she hasn’t been able to use a bathtub for months.

Graysen arrives with his father, Lord Nolan. Elain is overcome by emotion and unable to speak. Nolan demands Feyre introduce herself and the others, and Elain begs Graysen to open the gates to humans fleeing Hybern’s army once the purpose of their visit is explained. Looking at Elain’s engagement ring, Graysen says she is lying. Nolan reveals they already know Elain is High Fae and her mate is a High Lord’s son. Jurian enters; he is the one who told them.
