In 2017, I resumed my \u201cAbout the Characters\u201d<\/a> post series that focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/a> series, because :<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m 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!<\/p>\n
(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate whether the character appears in both or only one of the books\u2014although at present we\u2019re having a run on single entries!)<\/p>\n

They found Herun and Darin waiting for them at the first crossroads, which was little more than a glade in the woods with a lichen-covered standing stone at its center. The Normarch road ran on east to join the main road, while a bridle path snaked north and west toward the old temple. The damosels\u2019 hoofmarks followed the second route\u2014but something else, Herun said, had turned off with them. \u201cSomething that lay concealed in the undergrowth and followed once all had passed. But the tracks are confused. At first I thought it was a man, but then the prints changed, suggesting a beast.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cIt only followed them for a short distance,\u201d said Darin, \u201cthen cut away across country. Getting ahead of them, maybe, or joining up with allies.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
