A to Z Challenge: The Letter K - K'Vruck

My A to Z Challenge contains names, places and things that are found in a series of books called The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. If you haven't read these books, which I recommend, please be aware there will be spoilers.

K is for K'Vruck

Allegedly the most ancient of the Unseelie caste of Royal Hunters although it is not substantiated that he is truly Unseelie. He was once the Unseelie Kings' favoured companion and "steed" as he travelled worlds on its great black wings. Enormous as a small skyscraper, vaguely resembling a dragon, it's coal black, leathery, and icy, with eyes like huge orange furnaces. When it flies, it churns black frosty flakes in the air and liquid ice streams in its wake. It has a special affinity for Mac and appears to her at odd moments as it senses the king inside her (via the Sinsar Dubh). When K'Vruck kills, it is the ultimate death, extinguishing life so completely it's forever erased from the karmic cycle. To be K'Vrucked is to be removed completely from existence as if you've never been, no trace, no residue. Mac used K'Vruck to free Barron's son. K'Vruck is the only being (known so far) capable of killing the immortal Nine.
