She traded her eye for her brother

Hope budded within her, and she drew in a breath. She reached over and lifted the sheet. She made a sound so foreign to herself that at first she thought it was her mother. Her brother had been burned, his lovely dark hair singed, but ... he was whole. Whole enough.

Princess saved his body in time!!!

"You bring him back," her ma demanded. "Right now, you hear? Bring him back!" She pushed Hellevir away, her lip quivering and tears sliding down her cheeks. Hellevir looked at the body on the table, because that was what it was. Not ashes, not ground bones, but a body.
Farvour’s ok!

Princess save her from the religious people

“And all of this, because I do not believe in your god. Do you think I don't know about the history of your faith? About the burning of people like me in the Galgoros? Your Twelve Pillars preach kindness, forgiveness, tolerance, and yet you burn anyone who threatens your ways. Death has told me of the victims tortured by your followers, thankful for the release of death. How do you answer for this hypocrisy?"

"I brought Sullivain back to life. Under her threat, to keep my family safe, to avoid civil war. But I would have raised her anyway, as I raised lonas, and as I would raise anyone who came before me needing to be saved. I will not be browbeaten into regretting it.”

Her brother is dead after trying to kill the princess, she’s in prison, how could this possibly be fixed?

HER MOM WAS ACTUALLY NICE?! She sent Hellevir to the order because she was worried what the Peer would do if she discovered her powers, and now her mom wants to get her out of the city since he knows and it’s no longer safe

"The edict making Onaistian the state religion has even given her an excuse, should she need it. You are an agent of deceit, who has led devotees away from the Promise of the God of Light."

“Soldiers marched through the streets, sending townsfolk scurrying to their homes. Arrests were made in the street: anyone voicing dissent, anyone daring to ask why the entirety of House Redeion must pay for one man's felonies.”
