Chapter 39 Summary

Rhysand ensures Feyre is sent wholesome food in the dungeon. After a few days, two of Rhysand’s female High Fae servants escort Feyre to a dressing room where they paint her body with swirls and dress her in a revealing gossamer gown. Feyre is to accompany Rhysand to the nightly feast, and he will know if Tamlin touches her because the paint will be smeared. At the party, Rhysand flaunts Feyre in front of Tamlin, who tries to restrain himself. Rhysand forces Feyre to drink faerie wine, and she blacks out. Later, Lucien visits Feyre in her cell and explains that Rhysand forced the drugged Feyre to dance suggestively to torment Tamlin. Feyre is humiliated. Lucien asks why Feyre didn’t wait for him to help her, but Feyre insists that she was dying and had no time. Lucien admits that he has only just recovered from his punishment; Amarantha forced Tamlin to whip Lucien for helping Feyre in the first task. Lucien explains that Tamlin’s stoicism is to prevent Amarantha from learning what form of Feyre’s torment upsets him most.

Every night, Rhysand drugs Feyre and makes her dance.
