This year, I\u2019ve resumed my \u201cAbout the Characters\u201d<\/a> post series that focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/a> series \u2014 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
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a> simultaneously \u2014 in alphabetical order, of course!

\u201cOr severs them,\u201d Aithe murmured, and Malian wondered if they all felt the coolness that shivered through the lamplit tent.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps,\u201d she agreed, and although she felt no stir of prophecy, her truth sense rang. \u201cBut it\u2019s past time for what was broken by the Sundering to be remade.\u201d ‘<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
