Princess Raisa

Raisa and Micah have secretly met and kissed, but their attraction is complicated by the Naéming’s prohibition on their marriage, Micah’s conduct, and political tensions between their families.

Averill is Raisa’s clan-born father. She favors his side of the family and wishes he were present to buffer tensions with her mother.

Elena is Raisa’s grandmother and the Matriarch of Demonai Camp. Her political opinions about Vale affairs and wizard influence shape Raisa during her time with the clans.

Mellony is Raisa’s younger sister. They travel together with the queen, though Raisa sometimes responds sharply to Mellony.

Hanalea is Raisa’s celebrated royal ancestor. Elena gives Raisa a ring that once belonged to Hanalea and says it protects against wizard charms.

Raisa is Marianna’s daughter and heir. Their relationship is affectionate but strained by disagreements over Raisa’s autonomy, marriage, and political concerns.

Raisa and Amon share a longstanding closeness, trust, and adventurous history. She relies on him for honest information and asks him to help her investigate events beyond court.

They have not met in the provided chapters, but Han’s confrontation with Micah and Raisa’s romance with Micah place them on intersecting sides of the same conflict.

Byrne is responsible for Raisa’s safety on the hunt. He watches over her, gives practical instructions during the fire, and treats her capabilities with respect.

Magret is Raisa’s nurse and attendant. Raisa trusts her with private outings, but Magret reports Raisa’s meeting with Amon to the queen.

Raisa plans to meet Jemson at Southbridge Temple to hear a perspective beyond the insulated court and seek information about conditions in the city.

Raisa distrusts Gavan’s influence over her mother and suspects that something is wrong with his relationship to the queen and the royal line.
