From Blood and Ash

Penellaphe realizes that Hawke knew exactly who she was when she accidently stumbled into his room that night at the Red Pearl. Penellaphe feels a rush of violent aggression as Hawke tells her that he and his supporters are responsible for the deaths of Hannes, Rylan, and Vikter. She throws her dagger at Hawke and stabs Jericho with Phillips’ sword. Hawke and Penellaphe wrestle. Hawke pins Penellaphe under him, and she sees he has fangs. Finally, she realizes why Hawke was so much stronger and so much faster than the other Royal Guards. He is no Descenter or wolven, he is an Atlantian.

The villagers begin to gather, and Penellaphe hears them shout, “Are we holding her prisoner? We’re keeping her alive. Will we feed and shelter that” (407). Penellaphe scoffs at the villagers and thinks to herself, “That. As if I were the monster, the one who supported the Dark One and could create Craven. These people were beyond help” (407). The villagers begin to chant that the Maiden deserves to die.

Hawke instructs Delano to take Penellaphe to her holding cell. While alone and shackled, Penellaphe sits in shock. She feels foolish for letting herself be tricked by Hawke’s flirtatious ways and wonders why he had to pretend to love her.
