Meghan’s best friend growing up was the mischievous and often secretive Robbie Goodfell. When her brother was kidnapped, Meghan discovered that Robbie is actually Robin Goodfellow, the infamous faery Puck best known from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

As the daughter of the Summer King, Meghan has the ability to call upon Summer glamour. She can summon roots and vines to her aid, wrapping them around her enemies. She can also make life erupt from even the deadest of woods, and while wielding the Scepter of the Seasons, she is even able to produce lightning bolts. After she killed the Iron King, Meghan inherited all of his powers and became the true heir to the Iron throne. While her Iron and Summer glamours initially clashed, making her sick when she tried to use them individually, she was eventually able to merge the two, bringing life to the Iron Realm and ending its destructive spread through the Nevernever.

Throughout her time in the Nevernever, Meghan made an enemy of both Titania, the Summer Queen, and Mab, the Winter Queen, but after defeating both the Iron King and later the false king, she ended her journey as a queen of her own realm, respected and powerful.

Good to know: If you’re in a tight spot, Meghan is the perfect queen to seek out for help. She is loyal to those she loves and wired to help humans in need, and the least likely person in all of Faery to require a favor in return.

ASH

(the Winter Prince, ice-boy, son of Mab, Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn)

Prince Ash is the youngest son of Mab, the Winter Queen. He has dark hair, silver eyes and an angelic face. His father is unknown, but he has two older brothers, Sage and Rowan. Growing up in the Unseelie Court, Ash learned early on that feelings were a weakness that could be used against him, so he learned to close himself off.

In his youth, Ash was close friends with Robin Goodfellow, hunting with him in the wyldwood despite the fact that friendship between Summer and Winter fey is forbidden. But when Puck accidentally caused the death of Ash’s beloved, Ariella, by leading them into a wyvern nest, Ash swore that he would one day kill Puck.
