Emily Brown Haven

Age: 16
Height: 5'6
Hair: dark
Eyes: green
Power: the knowing
Played ice hockey star (center) for the Lindsey High Timber Wolves
Loves coffee (esp. gingerbread lattes)

At sixteen, Emily Haven was the star of the girls' hockey team at Lindsey High, on which she played with her best friend, Casey. For years, she'd been keeping two secrets from the world around her—her rapidly deteriorating home life and the seemingly supernatural power that made her a star on the ice. The knowing (as she thought of it) guided her movements during hockey games, as if her hands and feet already knew what the players around her were going to do. Later, in another world, the knowing would serve her well as she wielded a sword in battle.

Celine

Age: approx. 14 (exact age unknown)
Height: 5'2
Hair: blonde
Eyes: blue
Power: healing
Terrified of heights!

Celine grew up on the streets of several cities throughout the kingdoms that comprise Marianne's domain. From time to time, kind adults would take her in, teach her to read or garden, or simply keep her safe. But these homes never lasted long. After years of drifting, she was eventually "recruited" by Marianne's men as a potential apprentice to the sorceress at Seven Skies, where she met Emily Haven.

Corbbmacc

Age: 18
Height: 5'11
Hair: sandy blonde
Junior member of the Dragon's Brood.
"Corbb" to his friends.
Brother to Mona, uncle to Miraculum, brother-in-law to Garret.

After his parents died in service to the Dragon's Brood, Corbbmacc was raised by his older sister, Mona, of whom he became very protective. Surly and moody, he has a tendency to act before thinking, and to follow his heart into trouble. Like Celine, he met Emily Haven at the fortress of Seven Skies, where he'd been sent to infiltrate Marianne's guard.

Legends never die; they just go into hiding....

Sixteen-year-old Emily Haven, heroine of the girls' hockey team at Lindsey High, has spent her young life keeping two secrets: her rapidly deteriorating home life and the seemingly supernatural power that makes her a star on the ice. When she begins seeing visions of a lost and ragged boy reflected in mirrors and shop windows, a series of events unfolds that tears her from 21st-century Minneapolis and leaves her stranded in another world with horrors to rival those she has left behind. Lost amidst creatures of fantasy and legend, she's forced to confront the demons of both her past and future to unravel the riddle of the mysterious boy and embark upon a journey to uncover long forgotten histories and the dark, cloaked figure in the shadows behind them all. Caught between opposing forces of a war she doesn't understand, Emily must find new strength within herself and, above all, the will to remember her friends.

There are a lot of characters in The Dragon's Brood Cycle, and it was hard to choose which ones to include in a dream cast. That said, I'm happy with how this turned out, and if anyone wants to turn the series into a television show, get in touch! -Josh de Lioncourt
