8 Amren Fan Art Pieces That Capture The Otherness of Her Curious Character
Of all the characters in Sarah J. Maas’ fantasy series A Court of Thorns and Roses, none are quite as mercurial or mysterious as Amren, the Tiny Ancient One.
With her glossy black hair, smooth pretty face, and short, delicate frame, Amren could easily pass for High Fae at first glance. Yet from the moment she turns those horribly enchanting silver eyes your way, it’s clear that whatever creature is trapped within her body was born as something else entirely.
As Second in Command and a trusted member of the Night Court’s Inner Circle, Amren plays a pivotal role in the series though much of her long life remains shrouded in mystery. Much to our disappointment, the secrets of Amren’s past are nearly as vast as her collection of jewelry.
Fortunately for us, this air of mystery around the Tiny Ancient One hasn’t stopped the talented AI artists across the ACOTAR fandom from blessing us with eight striking pieces of Amren fan art, each as hauntingly beautiful as the next.

“I knew—what she had given up to come back. High Fae—and just that. For her silver eyes were solid. Unmoving. No smoke, no burning mist in them. A normal life, no trace of her powers to be seen. And as Amren smiled at me … I wondered if that had been her last gift. If it all … if it all had been a gift.”

“That’s the key, isn’t it? To know the darkness will always remain, but how you choose to face it, handle it … that’s the important part. To not let it consume. To focus upon the good, the things that fill you with wonder. The struggle with that darkness is worth it, just to see such things.”
A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 61
