About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Machys
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 — in alphabetical order, by name, of course!
AND – drumroll!—we’ve finally exited the Great Plains of L and are now in the realm of characters whose names begin with M! 😊

“Orth laughed. … Rhanar fingered the arrow still fitted to his bowstring. Machys, too, held an arrow steady, although it was not aimed at anyone. Yet, Myr thought, holding her breath.”
