・❥・ She thought maybe she was okay with being wicked. That she was so angry, so desperately, bitterly livid. She thought perhaps there were pieces of this world that deserved her wrath. Her wickedness. Some souls who deserved to be snuffed out. 

・❥・ Cirsei Silvaeus had run away from home. A "home" that was much more akin to a prison, a crypt within which she would waste away to nothing. Cirsei's father, Valentine, had been keeping her under his thumb ever since the death of her mother. Regarding her as little more than an object, a piece of property which could turn him a profit, he subjected her to wretched, unspeakable cruelty. Her escape had been impulsive, fueled by the desperation harbored only by those who were fighting for their lives. She does not make it very far before crashing into an Illyrian general who, to her dismay, pulls her into his world. Surrounded by new faces, a new city, and a new sense of uncertainty about her future, Cirsei feels she has traded one prison for another. She will come to learn that this could not be further from the truth - but this lesson is not without its growing pains. 

Takes place shortly before Under the Mountain.

A Court of Lightning and Shadows

40 parts Ongoing Mature

Currently being rewritten december 2024 :). Some things might not line up. Living in an Illyrian warcamp as a woman wasn't fun, especially not while being half Fae, half Illyrian. When Briar's father finds out about her secret, he plans to do terrible things. Until a certain Spymaster hears of these events. TW: this story contains triggering content such as physical and mental abuse, rape and more.
