MEET THE CHARACTERS
Amar is a man with a mysterious past seeking answers about who he really is and where he came from. He can be very hostile and selfish, and he generally keeps himself at a distance from others.
Kesari is a happy and free-spirited girl who is always up for an adventure. She doesn't like conflict and guards her own secrets very closely. Though she made a great sacrifice to gain magical abilities, she no longer uses them.
Aleida is a young woman who will stop at nothing to save her little brother Tyrus from a fatal illness. She can come across as hard and callous, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants.
Mitul is a musician with a kind heart and a gentle personality. He's known Amar for many years and thinks of him as a brother. He feels responsible for Amar and travels with him to help him learn about his past and recover his lost memories.
Once a powerful Tarja (someone who can use magic), Lucian is now a spirit who takes the form of fire. He is Bound to Kesari, which allows her to use the magical abilities he once had. He acts as her mentor and is very protective of her.
Valkyra was once a powerful Tarja and, as a spirit, takes the form of a small white dragon. She is Bound to Aleida, which allows Aleida to use the magical abilities Valkyra had in life. She and Aleida believe that Amar could be the key to saving Tyrus' life.
Saya belongs to a group of primarily nomadic tribes living in the Sular desert. She sought out Amar as part of her haseph, a rite of passage all Sularan youth undergo at age sixteen.
Jameson is a renowned Tarja who lives in the country of Atrea. Although he is very skilled in the practice of magic, his primary obsession is the study of magical theory and history.
Tyrus is Aleida's younger brother. Orphaned as a child, he now lives with his caregiver in Kavora. He has an incurable degenerative illness but tries as much as possible to not to worry Aleida about it.
Zefar is a skilled mercenary and an outcast among the Sularan people. He's a proud man who puts his own self-interests above all else, but he seems to have a bit of a soft spot for Saya.
