–Demetra's letter to Rhys, A Court of Mist and Fury |
Demetra, also known as the Golden Queen, was one of the Mortal Queens who lived on the Continent.
History[]
A Court of Mist and Fury[]
The Queens, including Demetra, are contacted several times by Rhysand who asks for their half of the Book of Breathings so it can be used against the King of Hybern. They agree to meet with Rhysand and his Inner Circle, and so the Queens winnow to the Archeron's Estate, one of them, the sixth (called Vassa) did not appear at the meeting and the others said it was because she was sick. Demetra meets Feyre Archeron and the rest of the Inner Circle, however the queens refuse to give up their half of the Book of Breathings, and leave the estate.
Some time later, during another meeting with the Inner Circle where only two queens showed up, Demetra and the oldest queen meet to see proof that Rhys and his circle want peace. Rhys shows them Velaris through the Veritas orb. Even with the evidence, the oldest queen refuses to give them half of the book, however, Demetra disagrees and discreetly leaves half the book under her chair with a letter for them. In the letter, she confesses that she wishes for a better world and that the sixth queen was not ill.
After Demetra's betrayal is found out by the other queens, they hand her over to the Attor who tortured her and then brought her dying body to Velaris when he led the attack to the city planned by the King of Hybern. She died there impaled.
