High Lord of the Night Court in A Court of Thorns and Roses written by Sarah J. Maas, one Rhysand, is more than a being— he epitomizes a testament to overpowering odds, love, and new beginnings. Rhys’s outwardly physical charm as well as his extraordinary presence balances the extremes of logic. Rhysand has endured tremendous malice, but he lets the dark shape his hope, rather than the other way around.

The Court of Dreams which is his inner most safe place, complements him perfectly. This is the home where dreams are birthed and nurtured to fruition, where the lost go to mend their frayed and worn out hearts. Starfall encourages Rhys to believe in beauty despite the blackness of the night sky which surely has splatters of silver stars shining through. His romance with Feyre is equally remarkable, showing the importance of trust in a relationship. Rather than regarding her as a victim, he views her strength and tries to cultivate it.

The greatest thing Rhysand, has, however, is the courage to imagine. He holds the appropriate courage to imagine a world devoid of hate or strife in spite of everything the past has taken from him. He is the one to emphasize that true strength does not emerge from subjugating others, it sounds ridiculous even, the might lies in the helping hand.

Everywhere on the Night Court, from the hills to the skies hanging above, one can see and feel that Rhysand is everywhere, and as always, stands to inspire. How ambitious would one possibly be to visualize like Rhysand?
