Mortal Dread

Mortal Dread was a treasure of the Unseelie court. It was a short sword that served as Queen Andais' personal weapon.

The sword had mortal blood tied in to its forging. As a result, the weapon was one of the few that could deal a fatal wound to any fae, even a sidhe.

In A Kiss of Shadows, the queen let the blade leave her care in order to lend it to Doyle to show Meredith that he spoke for her.

In Seduced by Moonlight, she handed it to Meredith so that she might give true death to the traitors Nerys and Miniver before they were turned over to the goblins for their pots. Nerys accepted the mercy, Miniver did not.
