Dark Desire Character Profile: Taer

For those of you who have read Dark Deceit, you'll already be familiar with Taer. Taer is a dark elf, and the sister of Adrian - who was brutally murdered by the guild master, Darrion. At the conclusion of Dark Deceit, her world have been left shattered. She was trading the dark waters of grief, clinging to her desperation for revenge, and in Dark Desire we see her journey to getting that.
Taer has been forced to grow up a lot quicker than she should have to, but that was the life of a Walker. Taken under Korvain's wing, she has to learn how to masters weaponry, battle tactics and how to leave her female sensitivities behind.
"She would never be seen as an innocent every again. She’d had her baptism in blood. She had crossed over to the other side and returned—bloodied and bruised—and looking at the world in a whole new way."
Her development as a character surprised even me. She turned out to be a whole lot stronger than I thought she'd be, and the ending really surprised me. I thought I had it all figured out, but once again, my characters have managed to surprise the hell out of me.
With the release planned for June, 2014, I hope you all enjoy Dark Desire.
