A Court of Thorns and Roses

In A Court of Thorns and Roses, Rhysand’s attendants in Under the Mountain—Nuala and Cerridwen—display several traits reminiscent of wraiths. In A Court of Mist and Fury, it is revealed that they are half-wraith, with one parent belonging to that species. According to Amren, it remains unknown how a High Fae and a wraith are able to produce offspring.
