The Thirteen in Throne of Glass: All 13 Names and the Relationships to Keep Straight

Spoiler boundary: Empire of Storms and the opening of Kingdom of Ash. Includes the group’s changed circumstances at that opening, but no final battle or member outcomes.

Direct answer: The Thirteen includes Manon herself, not Manon plus thirteen other witches. The complete names are Manon, Asterin, Sorrel, Vesta, Ghislaine, Imogen, Lin, Thea, Kaya, Faline, Fallon, Edda and Briar. A useful roster separates membership from command, family ties and specialist work. The early Kingdom of Ash camp scenes name the group’s members without requiring a summary of their later fate.

The complete roster, with a spoiler boundary

The names cross-checked in the Kingdom of Ash opening are Manon, Asterin, Sorrel, Vesta, Ghislaine, Imogen, Lin, Thea, Kaya, Faline, Fallon, Edda and Briar. Source: Kingdom of Ash — legal retailer preview. Keep the list at this checkpoint if you are still reading: a character wiki can attach an ending to each name before you intend to find it. The roster answers who belongs to the group; it does not require their final outcomes.

Leadership is different from a family tree

The Empire of Storms opening identifies Manon’s leadership and Asterin as her Second; the Kingdom of Ash opening calls Sorrel the Third. Source: Empire of Storms — legal retailer preview. Source: Kingdom of Ash — legal retailer preview. Those labels are command relationships. They are not interchangeable with a blood relation or a character’s personal closeness to another witch. When comparing the group with broader witch politics, keep the patrol-sized roster separate from a map of entire clans.

Roles and relationships the opening actually names

Kingdom of Ash identifies Edda and Briar as the Shadows and Faline and Fallon as twins. Source: Kingdom of Ash — legal retailer preview. Those details give you two different categories: specialist work and kinship. Our reading map keeps them in separate columns. It also leaves a relationship unspecified when a scene only shows familiarity; sharing a group or a quiet moment is not enough to invent a romance, a rank or a family connection.

Why the group should not become thirteen identical entries

A roster is a reference tool, but a character discussion needs an action as well as a name. Ask who teaches, scouts, watches, questions or decides in the scene you are reading. That can show how a small group functions without filling every member’s biography with the same generic loyalty paragraph. If a member receives less space in the passage, an honest short note is more useful than an invented power or a personality copied from another witch.

A practical reread card

Make three columns: member, relationship explicitly stated, and scene where you learned it. Add a separate spoiler field rather than placing late outcomes next to the names. Our recommendation is to start with the roster and verified roles above, then extend the card as you reach later chapters. Do not use page numbers from another edition as if they were universal. The scene and volume are a more portable way to locate your evidence.
