Mikael's fiercely protective single mother who tries to shield him from Afton's brutality and collapses in horror at his public trial.
Character summary
Book 4
Sanctuary: The Shadows of Afton
Enya raises Mikael alone and encourages his gift for the violin while fearing how the village will treat a gentle boy.
She watches helplessly as the Nettle Kings humiliate Mikael and as the trial turns into a death sentence under the Afton Code.
After Mikael's execution, her grief becomes part of the moral weight that breaks Kian and fuels his vengeance.
