Shoutout to our 14yo who drew the most powerful being in the Vows & Valor series. Karn (they/them) is physically tall and large, even more so than Olaf, but it’s not just their size that intimidates. They radiate power and a fair amount of disdain for trivial matters. Dimitar and Kaleela are tasked with finding them to consult on the matter of her missing father. But will Karn even care? #characterart #14yo #fantasyart #karn #vowsandvalor #mage #birdpet #fantasybooks #fantasycharacter

Meet the characters: DIMITAR 🗡️🛡️ Dimitar’s one of Blackburn’s guardsmen, training for knighthood. He aims to please his king, and serves as his personal messenger.

Dimitar stars in the Vows & Valor series, starting with IN THE NAME OF HONOR debuting from @shadowsparkpub on January 27, 2025.

Meet the character: RAL Not only does Ral wear a magicked hood that obscures his face at all times, but he isn’t vocal; he can only communicate via sign language. Ral brings word to Kaleela that her father’s held prisoner in the Eastern Mountains, and offers to lead her to him upon his honor. But what honor is there among a self-professed thief? Ral’s journey isn’t what you might expect. Core Four, No More Tears, Early Readers, Sign Language, Signs

Is it supposed to hurt like this? A profound ache when you finally see the readers’ favorite character? ❤️❤️❤️ Ral admits he’s a thief, but his heart works in empathy when bitterness should mark it. He’s mute and communicates via sign language. The circumstances of the king’s kidnapping wrap him into Kaleela’s and Dimitar’s fight to rescue him, and along the way all three are changed.
