Dramatis Personae
The Souls of Vyranthia
Heroes, villains, and the dangerous in-between. Each one walks these pages for a reason.
Main Cast
The ones at the heart of the storm.
Lyra Ashthorn
Main Character
Human healer from Willowfall. Dark chestnut hair in natural waves, light grey eyes. Brave, fierce, compassionate — and deadly accurate with a bow. Carries her father's dagger.
“I don't believe in luck. But I do believe in hard work.”
Draven Mourningveil
High Crown of the Void Court
A figure born of smoke and shadow. Silvery-grey eyes, dark whorls of ink climbing his neck, sharp cheekbones. Wears long-line tailcoats of midnight wool that drink the light. Deep voice, velvet-smooth.
“There are no words to adequately describe how gorgeous you are. You are everything, Starlight.”
Archer Ashthorn
Lyra's Brother
Loyal, funny, protective, and prone to punching people who deserve it. Lyra's fiercest defender and the world's worst liar.
“I believe that nothing in this life worth having is ever easy.”
Everith Mourningveil
Draven's Sister
Short for a fae. Wavy ebony hair past her waist, silvery-grey eyes, plump rosy lips. Warm, kind, and fierce when it matters.
The Obsidian Fang
Draven's inner circle. Family forged in loyalty, not blood.
Torvak
Draven's Second
Huge, warm, loyal. First to protect, first to comfort. The steady anchor at the center of the Fang.
“It's about time we had a little fire around here.”
Caellum
The Tracker
Chaotic energy, zero filter, stuffs pastries two at a time. The Fang's resident disaster — and somehow exactly what they all need.
“No one wants to tell me how sexy I look?”
Rhyder Renard
The Historian
Deep green eyes carrying immense sadness, long dark-brown hair with gold-red undertones. Calloused hands. Lives in books.
“Historian would be the accurate title.”
Haruto
The Strategist
Disciplined, sharp, the voice of reason. Long-suffering patience with Caellum. Nothing in a room escapes his notice.
“Gods and Sinners, you never cease to surprise me with your level of stupid.”
Rynex
Veil Keeper · Master of Spies
Stoic, magnetic, speaks rarely. Black feather in the left ear, pearl in the right. Can vanish into black mist.
Korath
The Enforcer
Never leaves his post — except when it matters most. His arrival at the Burnt Hallow stunned even the Fang.
Veiled Keep Staff
The hands and hearts that keep the Void Court running.
Thomas
Young Hopeful of the Void Court
A young boy at the Void Court. Shaggy dirty-blond hair, amber-green eyes. Desperately wants to join the Fang someday.
Magda
The Void Court's Ladies' Maid
The Void Court's indomitable ladies' maid. Scarred, ice-cold touch, warm heart.
“Gods 'n sinners!”
Shayla
Void Hound · Thomas's Shadow
A massive black dog. The world's fluffiest goofball. Thomas's loyal shadow and the goodest girl around.
Allies
Those who stand beside the Void Court when it matters.
Liora Aramiel
