Smoke, ash, secrets. Step behind the story into the lore of Daughter of Ash & Iron: oaths old stones still remember, marks that choose their bearers, and doors that only close once. This guide gathers the essentials—maps and sites (Sparta, Knossos, the Labyrinth), a spoiler-light cast list, the godbrand and war-born flame, factions and sigils (Ephors, Flameborn), weapons and relics, timeline notes, and sayings that bite. Start here to keep your threads straight, or dive deeper with bonus notes and artifacts as the trilogy unfolds. The flame remembers.
