Each year Under The Mountain, Amarantha sent Rhysand to the Spring Court with the order to watch Tamlin during Calanmai and report back to her who he had chosen as his Maiden. With no other choice, Rhysand did as she asked, knowing he was condemning those females to death, because they had touched something the Queen saw as hers.
But one female had escaped, pregnant. She managed to evade Amarantha's guards for years until her luck ran out. When Amarantha learns of her child, of Tamlin's daughter, she decides she'd make the perfect gift for her father's enemy...The High Lord of the Night Court, Rhysand.

Eclipsed | Cassian | ACOTAR
The Night Court's second Shadowsinger-sharp-edged, private, powerful. A ghost in enemy territory. A whisper in the field. A snarl at the war table. Everyone joked she and Azriel should fall in love. Their shadows already had. Everyone except Cassian. Because Cassian always knew it was her-the female with quick reflexes, sharper words, and a darkness that called to his light.

His Mother's hands stained with paint and his Father's beast form chasing him around the Manors garden. That's how his dream played it out to be. Choosing not to remember canvas stained with red and locked windows and doors. Voices loud enough to shake mountains. And then he appeared. In a cloud of Darkness and violet eyes. Rhysand; High Lord of the Night Court. How Lotus hated him. Hated his court, his inner circle, his night. Nyx and His Mother was were the only thing that made him stay, only thing he loved. Only thing he could make room for in his heart full of anger and despair. Even then, they could make him forget that he did not belong. Not with his sun-kissed hair or aquamarine eyes. Eyes a mixed of two people who hated each other. His features stood out when faced with the male his Mother was mated with. With the brother they blessed him with.

My Darling, Cathyrena
What if Rhysand had a child with Amarantha while he was imprisoned Under the Mountain? (One he never knew about..?) There is desire in the familiar ache of agony. There is a sort of comfort in spilled blood that drip from walls. Cathyrena pressed the magenta lipstick to her Mother's lips. Watching the brush stain pale skin and dress up a monster in angel clothing. Her jewels shimmered and shined with a type of mocking cruelty. There is a moment where she wonders what color Amarantha would bleed if she were to stab her in the eye. That night, the same violet dress Cathyrena matched her lips with laid in the empty bedroom floor. It's star-like gems still intact. The bed covers wrinkled and pillows thrown. Amarantha liked to have Rhysand in the brightest of Night when the Moon was full. She picked up the fabric softly. She had noticed the High Lord of Night scent mixed with her Mother's. Her indigo eyes flickered back to the mattress where he was raped. She wondered if he liked the dress. Cathyrena has all the worst traits of her parents. Darkness and Murder. But, what if she inherited all their best ones too? Its a shame Amarantha doesn't have any.
