RED QUEEN CHARACTERS - FIRST GLIMPSE #2

Kilorn Warren - 

The tiniest pressure at my waist makes me spin, acting on instinct. I grab the hand foolish enough to pickpocket me, squeezing tight so the little imp won’t be able to run away. But instead of a scrawny kid, I find myself staring up at a smirking face.

 Kilorn Warren. A fisherman’s apprentice, a war orphan, and probably my only real friend. We used to beat each other up as children, but now that we’re older - and he’s a foot taller than me - I try to avoid scuffles. He has his uses, I suppose. Reaching high shelves, for example.

RED QUEEN CHARACTERS - FIRST GLIMPSE #1 

Mare Molly Barrow - 

“The market deflates, with everyone closing up their stalls for the day. The merchants are distracted, careless, and its easy for me to take whatever I want from their wares. By the time I’m done, my pockets bulge with trinkets and I’ve got an apple for the road. Not bad for a few minutes’ work. As the throng of people moves, I let myself be taken away by the human current. My hands dart in and out, always in fleeting touches. Some paper bills from a man’s pocket, a bracelet from a woman’s wrist - nothing too big. 

Villagers are too busy shuffling along to notice a pickpocket in their midst.”
