About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” series — Meet Hirluin Sondargent
UK/AU/NZ
The About The Characters post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, in large part because:
“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”
~ from my Legend Award Finalist's Interview, 2013
Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost and Daughter of Blood simultaneously — in alphabetical order, of course!
(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

Hirluin Sondargent: the Duke of Emer’s heir
Ilaise sighed. “It seemed such a pretty gesture, like Lady Bonamark said. And I saw Lord Hirluin once, before I went to Normarch. He’s young, still, and handsome. Good-natured, too, my mother said.” Ilaise sighed again. “Like Audin. Not that it would matter if he wasn’t. Even if he had a bad temper or a mouth full of rotten teeth, still Ghiselaine must make this marriage and smile for the world.”
