We finally get to meet Queen Maeve of the Fae who is ruthless and beautiful and rules with an iron hand in the small territory of Doranelle; which is a haven for full-blooded Fae. No half-fae or hybrid is allowed to come into the territory because of deep-rooted racism. Half fae have to train there so they are deemed qualified enough to permit entry. Celaena is also trained for the same purpose so she can have an audience with the Fae Queen Maeve.
