Welcome to the Tsar’s Guard, a group of pre-release fans who will get access to inside info on The Tsar’s Game. Rumor has it there are some amazing things hidden up Evelyn’s magical sleeves to be r…

So wait... if the Autumn Queen is Noam's sister, then does that mean that Theron is the cousin of the Autumn Princess?
Yep! Theron has quite the family tree:
Noam’s younger sister, Nikoletta, married the Autumnian king, Caspar, and they have a daughter, Shazi, who is the future Autumnian queen and also Theron’s cousin.
Noam’s wife, Melinda, became a Ventrallan princess when her sister, Brigitte, married the last Ventrallan king (so Melinda isn’t a Ventrallan princess by blood, but by marriage). Brigitte and the last Ventrallan king had a son, Jesse, who inherited the crown when his father died. Jesse is Melinda’s nephew and also Theron’s cousin.
So Theron is related to two different kingdoms’ rulers.
Wouldn’t be a real monarchy without weird extended relatives.

1. How do you pronounce Theron and Mather's names? 2. And also, how tall are Theron, Mather and Meira respectively?
I have a whole pronunciation page over yonder for just such an inquiry!
Re: height: I’m hopeless with numbers, but Meira is rather short/tiny all around (the smaller the package, the feistier the spirit) while Mather and Theron are both fairly tall (though Theron is taller, if you really want to get technical). Mather has more of a “thicker” build, e.g. a wrestler or a football player, and Theron is more on the lean side, e.g. a soccer or tennis player.

So I woke up today (Feb. 20, 2015, 7:14 AM here on my side of the world) to a glorious Twitter rant from one of my favourite authors about how one can’t say the “hard” sciences are more important than the “soft” sciences, and why neglecting things like history and anthropology is really lazy writing.
