- Excerpt
A typical gremlin with long, thin arms, huge batlike ears and slitted, electric-green eyes, Razor is one of the first to realize who Meghan is and try to help her claim her rightful throne as the Iron Queen. He first helps her escape from Glitch and the rebel Iron Fey in her attempt to join the fight against the false king. Later, Razor travels to Mag Tuiredh and rallies the gremlins at Meghan’s behest, swarming Ferrum’s moving fortress and short-circuiting the electrical defenses and halting it in its progress toward the wyldwood.
ROWAN
(Traitor, second son of Mab)
Prince Rowan, leader of the Thornguards, is the middle son of Queen Mab. The games his mother played, pitting her sons against one another for centuries, formed Rowan into a jealous and power-hungry prince. His greatest resentment fell against his younger brother, Ash, who is often seen as Mab’s favored son.
Rowan betrayed the Winter Court to side with the Iron fey, convinced he could become immune to Iron’s effects and ultimately survive when the Iron Realm completely took over the Nevernever. However, the iron ring he wore on his finger caused him to begin to rot and severely weakened him. He was eventually killed by Ash while trying to protect the false king.
SAGE
(First son of Mab)
Prince Sage is the eldest and tallest of the three sons of Mab. As gorgeous as his brothers, he is pale with high cheekbones, eyes like chips of green ice, slender brows and long, black hair that ripples behind him like a waterfall of ink. His constant companion is a large, golden-eyed wolf.
Sage is killed by Tertius while defending the Scepter of the Seasons. When he dies, his body turns completely to ice.
VIRUS
Virus is the second of King Machina’s lieutenants, and when he is killed by Meghan, she sides with the false king against Meghan and the rest of the Nevernever. She has poisonous green eyes, hair that appears to be made of wires and thin network cables in green, black and red, and often wears lipstick and nail polish in shades of blue and sickly green. She wears a poison-green business suit and three-inch high heels. Virus controls small insectlike creatures called drones, which burrow into a person’s head and gives her the ability to control their actions. She is responsible for setting the chimera loose in the Summer Court during Elysium, and is also the mastermind behind the theft of the Scepter of the Seasons. While holding the scepter hostage, Virus implants one of her drones in Ash and sends him to kill Meghan’s human family. She is later killed by Ash, split in two after being distracted by Meghan’s use of Iron glamour.
THE WOLF
(the Big Bad Wolf, the Eldest Hunter, Wolfman)
