Last year, I resumed my\u00a0\u201cAbout the Characters\u201d<\/a>\u00a0post series that focuses on the minor characters in\u00a0The Wall Of Night<\/a>\u00a0series, 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\u00a0The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both\u00a0The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a>\u00a0simultaneously \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—in this case, Elite Cairon is one of those “off-screen” or “non player” characters who are nonetheless important to the story.)<\/p>\n

Malian had been dreaming deeply, reliving the rain-spattered evening five years before when she and Linden, the Spring singer of the Winter people, had walked into the River\u2019s northernmost trading post on the Wildenrush and found Cairon of Ar sitting by the autumn fire. Even now, she wondered by what diverse means a message had gone out from the Winter Country and brought an Elite of the Shadow Band so far into the wilderness.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Life is a risk, Malian thought, despite the hollowness at her core. And Asantir had always said she needed to know as much about her allies as her enemies, a philosophy that had tallied with Elite Cairon\u2019s Shadow Band tutelage. She stamped her feet, silent on the pine needles, and drew the blanket closer. \u201cI\u2019m listening,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
