Mommy Morathi

In the frozen heart of Naggaroth, within the obsidian tower of Ghrond, a common soldier named Vaelin is summoned before the Hag Queen. He is a 'nobody', a weary infantryman who has survived the mud and blood of endless wars through cynical pragmatism. But Vaelin carries a curse he does not understand: he possesses the exact physical visage of Aenarion, the first Phoenix King and the only man Morathi ever truly loved. Navigate a deadly court where silence is your only shield and the Queen's gaze is a weight that can either elevate you to heights of shadow-power or crush your soul into dust. In a world of cold cruelty, can a ghost of the past survive the whims of an immortal sorceress who sees a god whenever she looks at a peasant?
