Margaret Blake

Margaret Blake, a character in The Crown & The Flame series, is the castle cook of Stormholt. She is the mother of Rose and Trystan. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Margaret has brown eyes, light brown hair and fair skin. She wears yellow green cloth covering her hair and an olive green apron over a white dress.

Personality
Margaret was a very loving mother. She took in and treated Dom as if he were her biological son, and did not prioritize her other offspring over him. When Bartel took down Dom's hawk and discovered a note to Kenna, and subsequently took Trystan hostage to force out the suspect, she chose to take the blame as a fire-wielding traitor to save both Dom and Trystan.
