Jurian
Clythia is a historical High Fae who fought in the War with humans. She was Amarantha’s sister who entered into a passionate romance with Jurian, a human warrior in the War. Clythia was blinded by her love for Jurian, who ultimately betrayed her and brutally tortured and murdered her. In the present, Amarantha’s cruelty toward Feyre, and her desire to take over human lands, is in part a desire to seek revenge for her sister’s death.

Chapter 32 Quotes
“She was the King of Hybern’s most lethal general […] But she had a younger sister, Clythia, who fought at her side, as vicious and wretched as she…until Clythia fell in love with a mortal warrior. Jurian.” Alis loosed a shaking sigh. “Jurian commanded mighty human armies, but Clythia still secretly sought him out, still loved him with an unrelenting madness. She was too blind to realize that Jurian was using her for information about Amarantha’s forces. Amarantha suspected, but could not persuade Clythia to leave him—and could not bring herself to kill him, not when it would cause her sister such pain.”
