Ondrej Wraiththorn
the Cinderwrought Count
Named for a man who died in a fire and came back as a living brand — Ondrej means 'manly' but you have not been a man in centuries, and Wraiththorn is the thorn of a ghost that still bleeds ash.
Power
Cinderbind — you command the ashes of any burned thing to take a form you once knew, and they will obey until the last ember dies; every use leaves a faint scar of frost on your tongue.
- Familiar
- a coal-coloured stoat named Ignis
- Bloodline
- House Emberward
‘You will burn for this,’ she said, and meant it. You did burn. That much was true. But you did not stay dead. You rose from the ashes of a pyre that was not meant for you, and you have carried the smell of your own funeral ever since — it is the only perfume that still makes you hungry.
