Characters
- Veraldaine Sarrasri, (Daine): Born in Galla, she is gifted with Wild Magic, a special type of power that allows her to communicate with animals, bend them to her will, and transform into them. She is young, with thick, curly hair and a soft mouth, as well as blue-gray eyes framed with long lashes. Skilled both as a warrior, (her skill with the bow consistently surprises both her friends and enemies), and a mage, she gradually learns to control her powers with the help of Numair Salmalin.
- Numair Salmalin: The most powerful mage in Tortall and one of the only "black-robe" mages in the world, he was born in Tyra as "Arram Draper," but changed his name in order to protect himself from Emperor Ozorne, who tried to kill him. Extremely intelligent as well as physically powerful, he becomes Daine's teacher and eventually, her lover and husband.
