Rosie
She already had power. She just wanted a place to belong. Now nothing feels safe.
"I haven't fought my whole life to become an afterthought."
Champion | Marksman | Guardian
Allen
War-wearied and loyal, Allen carries too much history and the weight of one girl's future.
"If I die for this I want it to matter. Just once."
Champion | Librarian | Host
Francis
Gentle. Brilliant. Haunted. He files books by night and secrets by instinct. And he still doesn't know who he truly is.
"There's a difference between silence and peace. I know which one I have."
Protege | Nuisance
Marlem
He doesn't know why he's loyal to Francis -- but he'd fight the moon itself to protect him. Especially from himself.
"He needs me. That's the whole job, right?"
Lord | Mage | Pirate
Leonard
He’s buried a wife, forged a sword in fire, and kept more secrets than most kings. But ask him, and he’ll just say he was lucky.
"I'll help. I always help. I've always got time -- for everyone else."
Lord | Rogue | Stormchaser
Reginald
He claims he has no hoard. But the way he looks at her? That's a dragon hoard if there ever was one.
"It's not a hoard if it's only one thing... And a person. It's a treasure."
