The Forbidden Tower drawings by Rosie

I really have to get back into the habit of doing all my own illustrations. 😳 But Rosie and Eleanor do a really good job.

The stunningly detailed cover.

Sir Henry, Lydia, and Captain Wolf.

Lydia.

Lydia is the youngest sister of the Earl of Lakes. She has a twin brother, an older sister and two other brothers. She also happens to be an annoying tomboy.

Earl Sam.

Sam is the Earl of Lakes. After his father's death, he finds the duty of being earl and taking care of his siblings crushing. Of course it doesn't help that he is arrested for a murder and suspected by his own siblings of being guilty.

Lady Gloria.

Gloria is the second eldest in the Earl's family. She is the beautiful lady like sister.

Benjamin.

Benjamin is Lydia's twin brother. The two do nearly everything together, until Benjamin is poisoned. Hmm.. maybe I'll end up killing him in book two.

William.

William is the earl's youngest brother. The only reason that keeps him from getting in as much trouble as his siblings is because he is lame.

Sir Henry.

Sir Henry is the cousin of the Duke of the Blood Mines. Henry is older and handsomer then his cousin, not to mention "nicer."

Captain Wolf.

Captain Wolf previously known as Ōkami from the flip side of Royaume, known as Pègre, was cast out by his own people. World banishing is the worst punishment anyone could receive. It's even worse, when you are really innocent.

Duke Francis.

Duke Francis, inherited the Blood Mines and allows the world to think him an incompetent fool. He does not try to be nice to his fiance's family, openly insults Lydia, who he thinks is a spoiled brat. But in the end, Henry proved himself a man, by taking a blow for someone else.

Grant.

Grant a mysterious woodsmen, that throws his lot in with the troublemakers. At first glance he might seem like a normal troublemaking woodsmen. But when he starts shooting fire out his palms beware!

(Some of you have read "Protector's of the Kingdom" well, he is Dan's father. Also, an even younger version of him is going to appear in my second "Apprentice Warrior" series).

Ketsueki.

Ketsueki is the leader of the scout party from Pègre. Grant tries unsuccessfully to melt him. Eventually one of his own followers melts him.

Ritorudoragon.

At ten Ritorudoragon is the youngest Pègrean scout. He is also a prince.

Akuyaku.

Akuyaku is another member of the scout party. His own sister overpowers him in the fight.

Kanojo.

Kanojo is Akuyaku's sister. She was also a member of the scout party. But she decided it would be more worthwhile to side with Wolf.

Ōjo.

Ōjo is Ritorudorgan's sister, so of course she is also a princess. She is also a member of the scouting party.

Kemono.

Kemono is a beast creature of the underworld. He obeys only two people. Wolf and Ōjo. It is he who ends up melting Ketsueki.

Lit.

Lit is Wolf's squire. He is only briefly in the first book, but he's going to get a bigger part in book 2.

The Rura.

The Rura is basically the ruler (Rura is Japenese for Ruler) of a kingdom in Pègre. It was never said in the first book, just hinted at, but he is Wolf's father, the weak minded ruler.
