There she studied under Cartier while being denied any information on who her Maevan father was. Brienna, without a real talent for a passion, studied them all for a time before settling on knowledge. However, does she have the time to master her passion and if she fails what lies in her future.
  • Cartier Évariste/d’Aramitz is an Arden of Knowledge and becomes Brienna’s mentor. As the solstice draws close, his relationship with Brienna deepens, but her failure to master forces them apart and forces him to face the past he had hid from, being of the exiled lords of Maevan in hiding having survived the failed coup when he was a child.

  • Brendan Allenach is one of the most powerful lords in Maevan. His family was originally behind the coup that forced the rightful family line off the throne in the hopes of gaining power, a goal he still works toward. Discovering his hidden daughter in Brienna gives him a new path to power if he can convince her to join him.

Setting: A fantasy, medieval, French based society where the kingdom to the north of Valena, Maevana is ruled by an evil tyrant. These two countries have an uneasy truce at the best. The story takes place across the borders of both countries.
