About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Malar
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 — in alphabetical order, by name, of course!
Recently, we entered the marvelous realm of “M” — and today we’re exploring it further. 😀

“…can’t even have a go at that cursed Blood snot. Every time I look around there’s someone watching.”
