Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Daughter of Blood<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u2014 in alphabetical order, by name, of course!<\/p>\n

Currently we\u2019re in the realm of \u201cN\u201d \u2014 and today\u2019s character, Nerys, is one whose part has remained steady throughout the series to date. While genuinely minor, I believe she makes a significant contribution of the texture of the story. Along with her “band of brothers” — but that goes without saying. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

The rat-fox bark came again, followed by the brief twitter of a disturbed bird: Ter or Lawr letting them know that a small company of riders was approaching. Garan looked to Nerys and saw that she already had her bow ready.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Not that any of them could have seen anything, because they had all been riding ahead of him\u2014except possibly Nerys, who might have glanced back over her shoulder at the critical moment. But the one thing you could be sure about with Nerys was that whatever she saw, word of it was unlikely to pass her lips. <\/em><\/span>
