## Snapshot

Nais's twin sister, who risks the Empress's wrath to slip into Deucalion's camp and warn him of the divorce, the mutilation, and the vengeance awaiting him at home.

## Who they are

Ylga is the sister of the woman Deucalion loves, and her loyalty to Nais drives her through mufflings and sentries to deliver news no one else dares carry. She is bitter that Deucalion's first thought is always for the message and never the messenger, yet she comes anyway. Her warning lays bare Phorenice's jealousy and cruelty, and her presence ties Deucalion's private grief to the wider danger closing around him.
