Deryn of the Moors

As Tyrant Whelp gets another step closer to publication, it’s time to introduce another character.

Deryn is the promised wife of the main male character Custennin. While the Kingdom of Dumnonia is ruled over by Custennin’s father, Cado, the realm is also divided into smaller regions each commanded by an under-king and/or queen. Although these people are subordinate to Cado, he is highly dependent on their support, giving them the potential to overthrow a king if enough of them are in agreement.

Dartmoor

Deryn’s father is one of the under-kings, commanding the people of the Hawk tribes who reside on the moors. Her mother died when Deyrn was young, leaving Deryn as the only child. Devoted to her father, she rarely leaves his side and has been raised with the possibility of one day succeeding to his moorland realm. But this changes when Cado suggests the possibility of her becoming queen to all Dumnonia through a marriage to his son.

Cado’s choice has alighted on Deryn for other reasons beyond the support of her powerful father. Sensible, courageous and assured she seems the perfect choice to balance his headstrong son.

But Deryn’s calm good sense conceals a strong romantic streak. Raised on the tales of the love between her parents, a devotion so strong that her father never remarried after her mother died, she hopes to achieve a similar happiness in her own marriage.

As she arrives in Isca for her nuptials, the handsome young Custennin awaiting her seems the embodiment of a dream and with him similarly taken with the attractive young woman, her future happiness is assured, isn’t it?
