Zelenka Palehurst
the Cinder Countess
Named for the green of unripe wood and the pale ash it becomes, a name that carries the smell of a fire that never quite goes out.
Power
You can read the last ember of any fire — see the moment it was lit, the hand that struck the flint, the reason it burned. But each ember costs you a memory you will not remember losing.

They say you never sleep, that your chambers are always lit by a fire no one stokes. They say you once sat for three days watching a candle burn to nothing, and when it guttered, you smiled. You let them talk — their words are just more kindling.
