Anastasya

Anastasya is convinced of her innocence and sets out to learn the dark arts of Necromancy in order to bring the true murderers of her father to justice.

Irina

As a child Irina fell in with her rough-and-tumble half-brother, Sandor, and learned swordplay instead of courtly manners. They trained with the Orc Kraal, Duke Slava's Master-of-Arms, and caused gleeful havoc in the castle.

Betrothed to the lustful Duke Gerhart of the Wolf duchy, Irina was attacked on their wedding night. Reacting more like a warrior than a maiden, she wounded him severely and was thrown into his dungeons. Out of pride she would have died there, had Sandor not come to her rescue.

The two of them fled south toward the islands of the Jade Sea, where Irina found herself once more embroiled in politics. But this time she could raise her own army and look north -- to where Gerhart still lived, awaiting her vengeance...

Sandor

Sandor is the bastard child of Duke Slava Griffin and his first love, the beautiful lady Elisabeth. A political burden since birth, he soon became a troublemaker, and found an outlet for his frustration and anger alongside his father’s master-of-arms… the Orc, Kraal. Standing up for his family during a feud with his father’s neighbor, Gerhart, the Duke of the Wolf, Sandor will be exiled from the Holy Empire. Kraal will lead him to his original homeland: the savage Pao islands, floating in the Jade Sea...
