Which C.S. Lewis work is narrated by the dying protagonist Orual?

Till We Have Faces is narrated by the dying protagonist Orual.

Published in 1956, the novel is Lewis’s retelling of the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche. Orual is the queen of Glome and Psyche’s older sister; she tells the story as a personal accusation against the gods.

The book explores love, jealousy, sacrifice, self-knowledge, and the difficulty of seeing one’s own motives clearly. Its title refers to the movement from concealment toward honest self-recognition, a central idea in Orual’s development.

Till We Have Faces differs from the Narnia books in audience, tone, and setting. It is a mythic adult novel rather than a children’s portal fantasy. Lewis considered it one of his strongest works, and critics often identify it as his most psychologically complex novel.
