<p>Lyssia - the masked Drottine of Ilvana - has to discover the strength of her own voice and uncover the dark secrets that threaten to undermine the safety of her people while maintaining her own secret, a struggle that may force her to choose between her kingdom and her life.</p> <p>* * * * * * * * * * Armed with an uncontrollable talent for premonition and a dangerous secret that could cost her her life, Lyssia - the masked Drottine of Ilvana - has to learn to survive in a land designed to weed out the weak. Lyssia always thought her survival at court depended upon her identity as the greatest pretender of all. But when Magnor - the newly crowned King of Dunival - arrives unannounced and threatens the tenuous peace between their two kingdoms, Lyssia soon realizes that he carries secrets even more dangerous than her own. As Lyssia struggles to discover the true intentions behind Magnor's visit, she is faced with an impossible choice: Sacrifice her secret - her freedom - her life to save a dying land... or allow Ilvana to be overcome by what lies hidden in the shadows. Can Lyssia find the strength to stand and fight for her people, or will the lies she has hidden behind her entire life prove too strong to be overcome?</p> <p>* * * * * * * * * *</p> <p>A kongdomr of warriors, though rusted their swords</p> <p>A kongdomr of voices, raised in hopeful song</p> <p>A kongdomr of drakuns, forsaken, forgotten</p> <p>A kongdomr of masks, neither young nor old</p> <p>A kongdomr of faces, expectantly raised</p> <p>To this new chance, a new age</p> <p>A new Drottingr</p> <p>Ilvana of legend</p> <p>Rise, Warriors, Rise</p> <p>* * * * * * * * * *</p> <p>CAST, DEFENITIONS, PLAYLIST</p> <p>CAST</p> <p>Ilvanian (the three-pointed mountain)</p> <p>Lyssia (Lys) - Drottine of Ilvana, heir, present day 22YO</p> <p>Dizean - Kongr of Ilvana, Lyssia's father</p> <p>Azerian (Az) - Lyssia's maternal cousin, present day 22YO</p> <p>Carryn - Lyssia maternal aunt, Azerian's mother</p> <p>Roakev (Ro) - Lyssia's paternal cousin, present day 24YO</p> <p>Eindre - Lyssia's paternal uncle, Roakev's father and Drengr</p> <p>Nimeah - Eindre's wife, Roakev's mother</p> <p>Seaka - old Lach and Lyssia's former caretaker</p> <p>Bjarke - Master Skald, employed the Kongr of Ilvana</p> <p>Aturnel (the guardian) - highest mountain point on Ilvania-Listoria border</p> <p>Thivness (the wildness) – dangerous, impassable cliff between eastern forest and sea</p> <p>Vatn – Lesser mountain named after the lake found at its feet</p> <p>Arvid – Lyssia's Dubkir horse, named after her great grandfather</p> <p>Sikurd – Roakev's Dubkir horse, named after an old hero from a Lay</p> <p>Isi - girl Lyssia meets on road to Steiner Mart Diyana - Lyssia's songbird, also Rilken's wife</p> <p>Ofrid - Lyssia's maternal cousin, close to Roakev's age</p> <p>Reeza - Lyssia's older maternal cousin, has a oat named OdilHoney - good natured mare rode by Lyssia</p> <p>Hanne – village representative's niece celebrating her wedding</p> <p>Ardbon - Karl involved in Steiner Mart fight</p> <p>Liefer - Karl involved in Steiner Mart fight, his son's name is Nurik</p> <p>Rilken - the last Drakun Kongr of Ilvana</p> <p>Steiner Mart - Eda-Yute Mart held every year in Steiner Field, also called the crossroads</p> <p>Gavin Brinson – young western Jarl, not allied with Halvor, his family crest is a raven</p> <p>Sidne – Gavin's wife, very pregnant and very helpful</p> <p>Halvor - outspoken jarl from western stead</p> <p>Sorev – Halvor's son, family crest is a bear in mid-maul, one of eight Jarlsons present, but the only one hailing from the west</p> <p>Fulrik – sonless western Jarl allied with Halvor</p> <p>Calvin – one of the Jarlsons atttending the peacemeet, the oldest and tallest of the lot</p> <p>Angar – eastern Jarl in possession of the Dubkir herd, family crest is a shield painted with bright green and yellow stripes</p> <p>Dubkir heir – Angar's son…when will Lyssia learn his name?</p> <p>Ingar – former Kongr of Ilvana and Lyssia's grandfather</p> <p>Scyftan River – the unofficial divide between eastern and western Ilvana</p> <p>Listorian (the five-pointed flower)</p> <p>Andev - Kongr of Listoria</p> <p>Igone (of the green thumb) - Andev's wife, Drottingr of Listoria</p> <p>Thisska - Listorian Drakun, bonded to Igone</p> <p>Linea - Drottine of Listoria, Murel's twin, heir, present day 20YO</p> <p>Murel - Drottine of Listoria, Linea's twin, heir, present day 20YO</p> <p>Ansev - Kongre of Listoria, twin's younger brother</p> <p>Sundric - Kongre of Listoria, twin's younger brother</p> <p>Giall - Jarl that travels to Ilvana with royal party</p> <p>Dunival (the spinning dustdevil)</p> <p>Magnor - recently crowned Kongr of Dunival, present day 25YO</p> <p>Tirne - Kongre-Slad of Dunival, younger son of Rijek, present day 22YO</p> <p>V????
