The Gray Wolf Throne[]

He spent the two months before Raisa's return in the city, off and on, as a member of Averill's guard. Upon Han's return to Fells, Reid begins scouting around Ragmarket, murdering Wizards and placing Han's gang mark to pin the blame on him. He confronts Raisa several times to give her a briefing on the situation and to attempt to persuade her to his side. Later, at the Demonai camp, he tries to ward off Han's approach to Raisa, but Raisa dismisses him. Reid escorts her to the coronation ceremony.

The Crimson Crown[]

At the Demonai's coronation ceremony for Raisa, Averill decides to adopt Reid as his son, signifying that he has chosen Reid as his successor to the Demonai leadership. He also supports Reid's bid to marry Raisa.

He is present in the castle when General Klemath turns against Raisa and puts the castle under siege, with reinforcements from Arden in tow. He vows to give his life if necessary in order to defend Raisa. When Raisa launches a rescue operation to save her sister, Reid participates, picking off the enemy one by one, before Fire Dancer's flood attack forces the remaining forces to retreat.

Later, he confronts Raisa in Han's hideout in an attempt to convince her to avoid marrying Han and marry him instead, which Raisa strongly opposes. Enraged, he reveals to Raisa all of his underhanded actions, including the fact that he was personally responsible for assassinating Raisa's mother. Reid realizes that this effectively washes away any chance he has at persuading Raisa, so he attempts to kill her. Reid gets injured while climbing up to where Raisa was. Night Bird, Reid's "bed-partner", comes in and attempts to kill him, but was mortally wounded when he through his knife, catching her in the throat. Reid was killed when Bird used the last of her strength to fire a second arrow into his back.

The revelations of Reid's actions against the current and former Queens dealt a severe blow to the Demonai Warriors, who were revered for their honor and loyalty to the crown. Averill was especially devastated at this revelation, believing Reid to be the perfect Demonai to take his place. The blow to the Demonai left Averill and Elena both in a position where they couldn't speak out against Raisa's marriage to Han.

Relationships[]

Raisa ana'Marianna[]

He never truly saw her until she became queen. He often misjudged her feelings about other people. He greatly desired her, and viewed her as a pawn to be controlled when she was queen. He often treats her like she's stupid when it comes to politics or trusting wizards. He is always apologizing to her. Whenever she was with him, she felt under siege, personally and in all other ways. He wore her out, but could be a welcome distraction. He meant to marry her.
