Meet The Characters
ROWENA
Bold and stubborn. Curious and determined.
She wants nothing more than to be accepted by the world and discover her own story.
As an outcast, Rowena has known bullies all her life and will stop at nothing to protect the ones she cares about.
When she befriends the prince and princess of the empire’s adversary, she must decide to follow her destiny or protect them. Can she abandon her lifelong dreams for those she cares for?
BRANN
Careful and ingenious. Incredibly studious.
Best friend of Rowena since childhood, Brann is a young man with a brilliant mind and a natural scholar and inventor at heart.
Due to his poor and bleak childhood, he has always wished to find a better path, making the most out of very little.
His creative genius affords him access to fantastic problem-solving. What he lacks in combat, Brann makes up for ten times over with innovation and a strong sense of justice.
Will he be able to attend the greatest seat of learning in the empire?
TALIA
Kind and caring. Reverent and introspective.
Fugitive princess who fled her home with her deaf younger brother, wishing to reclaim her homeland and save her family.
Naturally gifted with magic, Talia has a deep sense of love and adapts easily.
Her innate magical abilities, combined with her fearsome loyalty, makes her a formidable companion.
Will she seek the help she needs to take back her stolen life?
