Basic Information
Heks

Residence(s)
Sterling Gables

Sterling Gables is the Heks's residence and a unicorn preserve.

When Visited[]

Sophie came here in Flashback to retrieve the Hekses when Silveny was in labor with Wynn and Luna, and in Neverseen when Keefe remembered a memory that had been damaged, he was on a bed there.

Unlocked Description[]

The Hekses' private residence is far more known as a unicorn preserve than an estate — though the silver-and-crystal mansion has a uniquely "homey" feel. The pastures are always filled with unicorns under the Hekses' care, and the outbuildings have an abundance of equine supplies. Thanks to the Heks family, the unicorn species is slowly repopulating — though there is still a great deal more work ahead.

Description[]

Sterling Gables is described to be an expansive manor made of silver and crystal, with high balconies, and is surrounded by lush pastures filled with grazing unicorns. It is decorated in pale blues and greens, like grass and sky, with plush furniture. The crystal walls are hung with family portraits, including one of Stina near the stairs. Sophie describes it as the most homey house she had encountered in the Lost Cities. It is mentioned that the majority of the unicorns alive reside here.

Quotes[]

“"This is where you live," Sophie said, not sure what surprised her more—that she was at Stina's house, or that it was so bright and lovely.”

Sophie and Narration, in Book 4: Neverseen
