House of Sky and Breath[]
After Bryce Quinlan manages to escape the Asteri by opening a Gate to travel through the worlds to reach Hel in order to request aid from the Princes, she accidentally lands somewhere in Velaris near the Sidra River instead, carrying with her the Starsword. Azriel finds her, surprising her from behind presses a knife to her throat, and speaks to her but she doesn't recognize the language, as her powers are spent she cannot attack him with them. As he twists her to face him she mistakes him for a demon due to his wings and the fact that she believes herself to be in Hel. She repeatedly asks him to take her to Prince Aidas but he cannot understand her and vice versa. Azriel picks up her sword and pulls a scrap of black cloth, a blindfold, that he carries in a hidden pocket of his armor. He blindfolds her, carries her and flies to a residence.
When they go in, she trips, so he carries her over his shoulders all the way to the living room and sits her in a comfortable chair. Then, Bryce panics and tears the blindfold. A moment later, the doors to the foyer open and Amren, Cassian and Nesta enter the room. Bryce sees Amren first, then has the idea to try to communicate with them in the only other language she knew, the ancient language of the Fae, of the Starborn. Amren stagers back, surprised to hear her speak the language, as no one has spoken it in their world for fifteen thousand years, and the others gape. Amren notices the Starsword and nods to Azriel's knife, Truth-Teller, at his side. The knife is the twin to the sword as it glimmers with dark light in answer to the sword's white light. Amren whispers that the Starsword is actually Gwydion.
Bryce tells Amren she needs to find Prince Aidas or Apollion. She replies saying she doesn't know them and that their world is not Hel. At this moment, the front door opens again, Feyre enters the room, with Rhysand entering after her. Bryce pleads her case to Amren and she translates to the others. Feyre then asks Bryce for her name, and Amren translates the question. Bryce addresses Rhysand and Feyre, noticing they possess an air of authority, and tells them her name. Rhysand steps forward and introduces himself in the Old Language.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that Azrel has similar powers to Hunt Athalar, as see when Vesperus absorbs Azriel's power and blue lightning can be seen wrapped around her hand. Still, it is unknown whether this is the true form of Azriel's powers or simply what Vesperus made out of it.
