And it’s time — for another post in the About The Characters<\/strong><\/a> series, which focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/strong><\/a> series, in large part 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<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with the more minor players 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

Noting, for the record, that I’m designating these characters “minor” in terms of either page and\/or point-of-view time, but their significance to the story may be “more than minor.” Nuithe is one of the latter characters.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure, too, that this is the last entry for “N”…<\/p>\n

Nuithe: <\/strong>a Darksworn adept known as the Lady of Ways, wife to Ilkerineth<\/a> of Lightning and mother of Nherenor<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Nuithe\u2019s arms slid around his neck and her lips met his with an answering fierceness. Ilkerineth savored its edge against the softness of her mouth, their kiss lengthening, before he drew away to murmur against her ear: \u201cBesides, think how much greater a vengeance you can encompass as my wife, with all of Lightning at your back.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Her arms tightened. \u201cI am thinking of it. Every minute of every hour, the hope of retribution sustains me, both for my old vengeance and now the new.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Just as it was hate, he reflected, that had sustained her when she first joined Lightning, driving her will to survive with all the potency of a once great love turned on itself. He guessed she might have been able to speak words of affection, too, in that former life\u2014but Nuithe, the name she had chosen for herself, meant \u201cdark heart\u201d in the oldest language of the Sworn.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n
