The unveiling of the US<\/a>\u00a0 and UK<\/a> covers for Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 \u2014 and more recently the new look US covers<\/a> for the whole WALL of Night<\/a> series \u2014 has inspired me to spend some blog time with the series’ characters, in the same way I spent time on the worldbuilding in A Geography Of Haarth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also decided to focus on minor players to begin with, because: \u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, meet Innor, who appears in both The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0 The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/strong><\/a>—and also Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/strong>, as it happens… But today’s excerpt is from Gathering<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Innor:<\/strong> an honor guard, serving the House of Night<\/span><\/p>\n

“Nerys and her companions melted away, joining Ter and Lawr in the brush, while the rest of the Night guards looked to their weapons. Haimyr seemed absorbed by the need to pack his harp away. Garan could not see his expression, but the minstrel was a cool one: he would keep his head and his nerve. The rat-fox barked again, twice in quick succession, and was answered from further out on the plain. \u201cNight riders,\u201d Innor said softly. \u201cThey\u2019ll not like that,\u201d she added, without looking at the Stone priests.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
