The Ash Lord's surviving daughter, secret commander of his forces, who lured Darrow from his fleet and now sails to destroy it over Mercury.
Atalantia au Grimmus, the last living child of the Ash Lord, is revealed as the true architect of the war's latest turn. For three years, while her father lay a hidden, poisoned husk, she commanded his fleets and legions through holo-doubles—her mind behind the tactics that resisted Darrow on Mercury and the image of the Ash Lord on his bridge. She conceived the peace talks as a lure, expecting Darrow to dissolve his Senate and seize power; when instead he left for Venus, she readied to fall upon his half-strength fleet and surface army over Mercury from the fog of war, as he once fell upon Luna.
Her home destroyed and her sisters murdered by Darrow, she is his 'last Fury,' brought nothing but war—now the Republic's most dangerous enemy, unseen but ascendant, her whereabouts unknown even as her armada sails.
A Grimmus Gold woman, daughter of the once-giant Ash Lord; not seen in person, her presence felt through her father's holo-doubles and her ruthless command.
The Ash Lord's heir and hidden warlord; the vengeful strategist who traps Darrow and sails to annihilate the Republic's fleet.
