Tårik

The Kind Hearted

Tårik is an optimistic, caring young man from an upper midblood family with connections to Clan Tsinna’s leadership. After graduating from the military academy, he was handpicked by Jälen to join Clan Tsinna’s guard and has been serving under him for almost twenty years. He can be impulsive, is eager to prove himself, and loves Kalaanë very much.

Kalaanë

The Loyal Spitfire

A sometimes temperamental highblood who feels all people should be treated with respect regardless of what caste they come from. Kalaanë is very loyal to Clan Tsinna and believes the clan doesn’t need to seek help from others. A follower of Årdra, she often prays when stressed. She has been serving as a së’shåzal (commander) in Clan Tsinna’s clan guard for 31 years.

Jälen

The Leader

As a lowblood, Jälen has had to claw his way up through life for every one of his achievements, and is fiercely proud of his progress. However, he became së’nåzal (captain) of Adya Tårann’s guard when his predecessor Daríus disappeared. He rejects the idea that being exiled is the end of everything and strives to regain his honor—at any cost.

Daríus

The Enforcer

A man with a mysterious past, Daríus was once së’nåzal (captain) of Adya Tårann’s clan guard, with Jälen as his second-in-command. A talented fighter who taught Jälen everything he knows, he disappeared one day without a word and even Adya Tårann would not say where he had gone or why.

Author

Chapter Two was a great chapter, and I can see why it was so draining for you to write it. That sandstorm was great! I loved the little culture tidbits. Ok, next chapter now, yes?

I liked all of this, and especially the way you ended Chapter Two. The writing is excellent.

Love what I am seeing so far. Two steps forward…. Eight steps back. Just when you think that the trio was getting somewhere. Chapter Five kept me on the edge of my seat! Keep the chapters coming, can’t wait to see what will happen.

Supportive Husband

Ciradår is such an asshole, but quite an interesting character too, I am loving it so far! Like where one moment he is taking cheap shots at them being comfortable with their “lax standards” and the next he is stepping up to lead them through danger. But my gods these poor buggers are being put trough the wringer! The scene with the tail made my eyes water.

Seriously though, your writing is amazing and I really have no criticisms at all! It flowed well and didn’t have any strange breaks or didn’t have anything that was super confusing. I cannot wait to read more!
