    Distinctions:

    Kelly’s sweet, unassuming naïveté endeared her to Fenwyn‘s heart within days of her arrival in Shafta. Caught up in his struggle for freedom and happiness, she relies on her willful and adventurous spirit to aid him in his quest, and after a time finds that she has fallen deeply in love with him. After a short courtship, they are married, and their bond grows stronger with each passing day. Though barely more than a child, Kelly works relentlessly to expose the dark truth behind the Elder‘s illusions of tranquility and order, ultimately entering the twisted world of a god and his toys. Eventually, after Kelly’s bloody attempt to usurp his authority, the Elder concedes to her and Fenwyn’s resilience and grants them safe haven from his cruel and destructive boredom. For six years he has kept his word, but in the ever-changing scheme of things, only time can tell the future.
