Main Characters
- Rhapsody - Child of Sky, Namer and Singer. A young woman of human and Lirin descent, she is a talented musician who uses music as a force to change the world around her. Having suffered a great deal of trauma, she's become self-sufficient by necessity but is prone to bouts of melancholy when she thinks about all she has lost. Rhapsody is also unnaturally beautiful as a consequence of her journey, a fact that she refuses to acknowledge and brings her more trouble than fortune.
- Achmed the Snake - Child of Blood, Assassin. A man of unknown age and mixed Dhracian and Firbolg heritage who leads Rhapsody and Grunthor on their journey, and who ultimately (by the climax of this book) unites the Firbolg race in the nation of Ylorc.
- Grunthor - Child of Earth, Warrior. A gigantic man of mixed Firbolg and Bengard descent who is Rhapsody's first protector even before their journey begins. He is Achmed's loyal sergeant and follows him without question.
