Meet Rastem: Meet The Minor Players in “The Wall Of Night” Series

USA

I’m sure you all know the “Meet the Minor Players” drill 😉 — i.e. that it’s a post sequence that features the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series. One of the reasons for posting this series is because the major characters always get featured and discussed, but: —

“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that (also) “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”

~ Helen Lowe (from my Legend Award Finalist’s Interview)

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!

Rastem: First to Queen Zhineve-An of Jhaine and leader of her Seven

The escort warrior on the chestnut horse moved forward, close on his queen’s right. His voice, when he spoke, was clear as the ring of sword on sword…“I am Rastem, First of the Seven sworn to Queen Zhineve-An of Jhaine. I greet you, in the name of Jhaine and the Nine Queens.”
