Portrait of Geneviève Theryn, poised and watchful in burgundy.

Geneviève Theryn is Ariane’s stepmother and the mother of Théo, Margaux, and Noémie. Twice widowed, she presides over the household at Hearthwick Hold with a carefully maintained dignity and an unshakable concern for her children’s future.
