Ramandu's daughter is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. She appears principally in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Lewis never named her in the books, but she is called Liliandil in the 2010 film version.
When Caspian X's ship Dawn Treader reaches the island of the retired star Ramandu, Ramandu's daughter greets Caspian and tells him of the Three Sleepers on the island (who happen to be three of the Lords for whom Caspian is searching). Of her past she says only that she has lived most of her life on her father's island. Caspian falls in love with her and promises to return for her when his mission is accomplished. They marry when he returns, and she becomes Queen of Narnia.
When Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole arrive in Narnia, they discover that Caspian and his wife have had a son, Rilian, and that 10 years before they arrived, the Queen had been killed by a great serpent while picnicking with friends.
Rilian returned to the scene of his mother's death many times over the following weeks, once with Lord Drinian, where they both caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman that Rilian had previously seen. The next time Rilian went there, he went alone and failed to return. The loss of his wife and son have sent Caspian into despair, and he fears he may never see his son again.
Eustace, Jill, and Puddleglum discover Rilian under an enchantment by the Lady of the Green Kirtle in the underworld. They release Rilian, who breaks the enchantment by destroying the Silver Chair. The Lady of the Green Kirtle tries to prevent their escape, but when she takes the form of the green serpent, Rilian realises that she was his mother's killer. He avenges his mother's death by killing the serpent with the aid of Eustace, Jill, and Puddleglum.
