What this book is about

This Destiny 1 Grimoire book covers the Queen of the Awoken and the people around her in the Reef. You meet Mara Sov through scenes in her prison among the cells of the Wolf nobility and in her throne room, where a Hunter declares she is there only to end Oryx. Her brother Uldren, Master of Crows, appears as spymaster and enforcer, handling his machine crows and news of the Black Garden.

Other entries widen the view. Variks tells how House Judgment fell and how he became the Queen's envoy. Petra Venj writes a letter pleading to come home after an order that killed Guardians. There are also notes on Reef Frames, the seven Paladins of the Royal Awoken Guard, and Master Ives's view of the Cryptarchy.

The book closes on the Techeuns preparing the Harbingers for the Dreadnaught and the aftermath of that battle, told from Uldren's side.

The Queen

The Queen of the Awoken is as much an enigma as the Reef she rules. It is said that she won her crown through ruthlessness, and that she stands as master of the Fallen House of Wolves in place of their defeated Kell.

The City's rise spells an end to the Reef's age of isolation. The Queen will surely look to this new era as an opportunity. And the City, in turn, must look to her. The Reefborn Awoken have spent long ages out on the edge of everything, and they may know secrets of terrible weight - the Queen most of all.
