History[]
The Rise of a Legend[]
At the start of the book, Gundesfyrr is present for Lyze's hatching, along with Elfstrom and Mrs. Grinkle. She is shown taking care of Ezylryb while his parents are off fighting in the War of the Ice Claws. She also cares for Lysa when she is hatched, helping to feed her and give her the necessary ceremonies for a hatchling.
When Stormfast is attacked by Ice Talons, she stays in the nest to watch the hatchling. Along with Lysa, she is killed when the pine tree catches on fire and the two owls were suffocated in the choking smoke, leaving their blackened bodies to be found by Gilda. Their deaths mark the end of Lyze's naivety and Gundesfyrr's sister, Prytlah, sobbed over her body.
