About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players in “The Wall Of Night” Series — Ber
The recent unveiling of the US and UK covers for Daughter Of Blood has inspired me to spend some on-blog time with the characters from the first two books in the series—in the same way I spent time on the worldbuilding in A Geography Of Haarth.
I also decided to on the more minor players to begin with, because: “I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”
I’m starting at the beginning, with characters from The Heir Of Night, the first book in The Wall Of Night series—and this week we’re into “B.”
