Main Characters
Vyla Kaie Mount-Joy: the protagonist, femme fatale, damsel in distress, and hero of my story. She is not your average princess, much to the frustration of her controlling and often over-bearing mother, Lucia. Her hobbies include horseback riding and sword fighting with her best friend and son of a Lord, Jameson, with whom she is nearly forced into marriage. When tragedy strikes, she must take on a role she never wished, and overcome her own detrimental infatuation with an older, charming man.
Jameson Hunter Ghallager: Vyla's handsome best friend. Everyone loves him, including Vyla...she just doesn't know it yet. He teaches her how to sword fight and shares in her dislike for his pretentious younger sister. Although he is unable to tell her how he truly feels about her, he is always at her side to offer support through difficult times; until he meets another, that is.
Corvin Bane Salvatore: Yet another mysterious handsome man. A foreigner, in more ways than one, he comes to Vyla in unusual circumstances, yet they form an unexpected friendship. He guards Vyla from danger, and from herself at times. He has vowed his life to her and intends to keep his promises, no matter how foolish she acts at times. Even though he is friendlier with the ladies of the royal estate, he only has eyes for Vyla.
Oliver Vian Mount-Joy: Oliver is Vyla's youngest brother. A boy of only five, he is forced into schoolwork by his mother. He is not allowed to play outside with the other children or become dirty. All this changes when Vyla is in charge. Given the freedom he deserves, Oliver stays close to his sister, feeling most the most safe and secure when they are together. Vyla is afraid of leaving him alone, and ensures he always has someone to watch over him.
