Somnium Shadows | 437 comments no, when those random people attacked his family they killed everyone they could get their hands on, namely Mircea's mother and father, but his wife was living in a separate village, and she didn't die until much later. She died after she went searching for Dory and went to Vlad for help finding Dory, but he had her impaled for telling blasphemous lies about his brother being a vampire etc.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) Oh yea!

why was dory away again??

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments i guess i'm just awesome like that. joke, i just have a really good memory about things i love, and i love the Dory series just as much as the Cassie series ^_^

and Dory was away because when her mother saw she was a dhampir, the people in her village advised her to drown Dory in the river. But instead her mother passed her on to a group of travelling gypsies who where pretty mean to her and kept her around to scare off any regular vampires who might threaten them. Then after a while her mother regretted that decision, and when looking for Dory, but she had no idea where the gypsies would be now as they travel so much, which is why she went to Vlad for help, and thus got herself impaled.

speaking of this, why on earth do we never talk more about the Dory series?

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) i dont know - maybe because theres only 2 books...
so not as much has happened.


message 355: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments very true. plus, there's less room for speculation about what will happen the dory series - less of a major plot that's continued through the books. and no god damn cliffhangers!!! i both love and hate the ending to HtM. All this waiting for Cassie to save Pritkin in the next book when it finally comes out kind of makes me feel like Pritkin's also waiting this long it hell O_o

but speaking of theories about the dory series, anyone else think Louis Cesare has some awesome master ability like turning invisible? I think it's kind of hinted at by Marlowe...


message 356: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments I'm gone for a couple of days and you guys shoot off without me!

But Somnium is correct on all dots. Very good memory, i give you props! :)

As for Dorys book, i'm waiting for them to go into Faeire....i'm thinking maybe Mircea is goimg to try to get her to go after Tony. That and i'm hoping Cademon is going to come back and try to make Louis-Ceasar jealous! :)

When did he make himself invisible?

I'm hoping Mircea's story is going to invlove meeting Dory's mom, or getting turned into a vamp, or maybe meeting Dory for the firt time. But i really want all of those together. But knowing Karen it'll be with new chacters....

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) im thinking i should prob re-read the dory series cause i cant remember everything thats happened. :S
i cant even remember who Cademon is... even though i could prob guess.


oooo turning invisible would be handy and totally AWESOME!
:D

Gayatri | 62 comments Caedmon is the Faerie King I Suppose??


message 359: by Somnium (last edited Oct 09, 2011 04:44AM) (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments He is indeed. Although I was never too clear on where he ruled all the light fey, or just the Blarestri...

And as for Louis-Cesare turning himself invisible, we never see it, but Marlowe somewhat hints about Louis-Cesare's abilities to move undetected in Death's Mistress when he and Dory are discussing whether or not Louis-Cesare could have gotten in to the Consul's home to kill Litkin.

"But he (Louis-Cesare) is quite familiar with the Consul's home and could easily have evaded security."
"Without being seen?" I demanded. "Coming or going?"
Marlowe arched an eyebrow. "It seems that you do not know Louis-Cesare as well as I had thought."

It could easily not be invisibility, that was just a theory I saw on Karen Chance's Q&A.

Enjee | 1194 comments Mod
Did Karen Chance ever state in any of the books what Mircea's wife's name was?


message 361: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments i think so. *goes and looks it up*

yep, it's mentioned in Death's Mistress that Mircea's wife's name is Helena :)


message 362: by Nikki (new)

Nikki Pritkin! He's Merlin for goodness sake!


message 363: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Davie (kathydavie) | 457 comments Yeah, I still have a hard time getting my head 'round that one!


message 364: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments true, but i imagine he's get pretty pissed if you tried to have a conversation with him about how he was an epic legendary wizard ;)


message 365: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments I'd love to see Pritkin kick someones ass if they brought that up with him there! I loved how Karen made that happen. Shes really good at just using the basis of a myth and creating an in depth story about it. :)

I don't think a vamp really needs to be invisible. They're already super fast!

Helena's a really pretty name. I hope Karen does make a short about them.

So does anyone else have an idea about Mirceas short story?


message 366: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments Naomi wrote: "So does anyone else have an idea about Mirceas short story?"

well I asked Karen about Masks on her facebook, and she said:

"It involves Mircea and Cassie returning to sixteenth century Venice. They are there to obtain blackmail material on a senator who is opposing the alliance (of vampire senates for the war). But, as always, things do not go quite as planned.:-)"

sounds excellent XD


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) awesome :) plus we'll hopefully get to find out how mircea really feels about cassie.


message 368: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments which is something i have been looking forward to for a very long time! i've always wondered just how much of a factor Cassie's power and position are to him, and how much he manipulates her without her realising it...


message 369: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Davie (kathydavie) | 457 comments Or, how much he manipulates her without HIS realizing it...


message 370: by Somnium (last edited Oct 24, 2011 11:57PM) (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments fair point ;) Mircea's POV ought to be very interesting - it's the first time we really get to know what's going on inside his head, and what he really thinks as opposed to what he shows of his thoughts to other people.

on a random side note, was anyone else a little disappointed in HtM that Mircea and Pritkin where never is the same room together for the whole book? i love the interactions between those two.


message 371: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Davie (kathydavie) | 457 comments Too true...they're a time bomb in the same room, LOL


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) lol karen will prob put them together in the same room for the next book - cause of how the last book ended im sure mircea wants a "word" with pritkin. lol.


message 373: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments Really? Thats whats its gonna be about? Not exactly what i was thinking but i like it! Plus i agree with you guys. It will be a chance to see what Mirceas really thinking. :D

Thats soo true! I never even thought about that!!! So Mircea knows how Pritkin feels about Cassie!! Which means that if Pritkin was avoiding him then theres no doubt about it!! He loves Cassie!!! I mean it was a tiny bit obvious when A Family Affair came out but still!! It has to be offical!! It will be an amazing scene and im absolutely dying to read it!!!


message 374: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments hooray! i'm really looking forwards to that chat between Pritkin and Mircea. shame that Masks is set before HtM, so it definitely won't be in that :'(

but speaking of fun interactions between characters to look forwards to, does anyone know if Louis-Cesare has figured out that Françoise isn't dead? i don't think he has, and i can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out she's running round present Vegas!


♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) ooo i totally forgot that!


message 376: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments same. i only just remembered recently that Françoise and Louis-Cesare even know each other.


message 377: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments That's true!!! Or even better how Francoise is going to act towards Louis-Cesare!! He does know her right? I mean the timeline changing didn't make him forget her? Did he like her?


message 378: by Jenny (new)

Jenny Harper | 1 comments If I could meet any character from the Cassie Palmer series I'd pick Pritkin.

didnt he give her a necklace or something - just being nice - and someone thought she was his "mistress" so they took her to punish him?? or am i getting confused? lol

i'd pick pritkin as well :P

no, that's right, i think he gave her a necklace and some money to pay for her marriage to some guy at the palace/town (wow, i totally forgot about him 'til just now). so, like Ashleigh said, i think he liked her, but not in any romantic fashion. and that shouldn't have been altered in the time line - Cassie saved Françoise from being burned to death, so Louis-Cesare doesn't remember seeing that bit, but after time was changed he said he does remember Françoise as a serving girl from a family of gypsys.


message 382: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments Ah thats good to know. Wow i think i need to re-read the series. Its been a while. Do you think Karen is ever going to put them re-meeting in one of the books? And if so which one?


message 383: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments i really hope she does - it would be a good scene, and a nice little crossover between the Cassie and Dory series. no idea as to what book though - possibly one in the Cassie series, as Dory has no idea who Françoise is...


message 384: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments True. :) Sorry its been a while since i've been near a computer. (i don't live in the stone age i swear, my computer has a virus.)
So have you guys read Pritkins new short? I LOVED it!!!! Can you believe he acutally smiled?!!!!! But it kinda sucks to see how much he changed. His wife turned him bitter. :'( When did this take place? Because Jonas is OLD!!!!!


message 385: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments Damn old! You know, if he's known Pritkin for over one hundred years, I wonder if he's ever noticed that Pritkin doesn't age - oh, wait, I'm being an idiot. Jonas knows he's half demon *facepalm*. Sorry, blonde moment there.

Anyways I don't know when it's set, but I'm pretty certain it's at some point in the 1800s. But it never occured to me that Pritkin had really known Jonas for that long! Do you reckon Jonas knows about what happened with his wife - at least the part that she died and Pritkin's life got shit?


message 386: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments I know!!!!! How is he still alive?! I mean i know that he has spells and stuff but isn't there a limit? He probably does know what happened huh?
I loved how Pritkin pointed out Jonas' dandelion poof, and now he has the same kind of hairstyle. :) I loved how KC gave the fence a personality, but I wished there was more to the story. It was just one tiny Pritkin fix :( not nearly enough to keep me from going mad from withdrawl!!!


message 387: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments Aww, I really liked that fence. I want a fence just like it in my garden :)

On a random side note, does anyone actually know what kind of fey blood Pritkin has? From the short I got the impression it was light fey, but during HtM he mentioned looking for his 'associate' in dark fey territory, so up to now I'd assumed he was part dark fey...

Oh, and I'm glad your computer is feeling better!


message 388: by ♥ Ashleigh ♥ (last edited Nov 18, 2011 07:34PM) (new)

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) im pretty sure mages live for about 250 yrs??
also i thought pritkin's mother had dark fey blood in her...? but im not sure now after reading the short story about his house....

haha i LOVE how he called it dandelion poof! how cute! :D

and im glad your computer is feeling better as well, lol.


message 389: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments AWWWWW thank you!!!! Me too! I promise to never be gone this long again. :D
I think it was dark fey....i'm not sure though...hmm it was the third book he mentioned his fey blood right? *goes and checks* He mentions the fey blood there but doesn't say which kind. Dang...
The fence was pretty amazing, and if you find one let me know so I can get one too!!
When did it say that they could live for 250 years? This story made me love Jonas even more. I loved hoe KC made sure he was always a bit addled, but still as sharp as a knife!!! :)
I just checked when pritkin got back from hell and it was in 1793 more or less. So yup Jonas is around 200. So do you think Jonas knows more about Pritkin than we know?


message 390: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments I don't think Jonas has known Pritkin the whole time since he got back - but it must have been at least 100 years. And it's either EtN or CtD where they mention mages have about double the lifespan of forms, but i think they can only live up to 200 years. Maybe we should ask Karen Chance how old Jonas is and how long he's known Pritkin. I really do love Jonas ^_^


message 391: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments He NEEDS to have a shory story!!!!!! Maybe with Agnus so we can get a chance to know them a bit more!!! Can't you imagine how he would be?!! We need to tell Karen about this!
When did Pritkin meet his wife? When did he start working for the Corps?


message 392: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments Wait, when did who start working for the corps? Jonas or Pritkin?


message 393: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments Pritkin. Maybe both...yea both sounds good.


message 394: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments hmm, well Karen briefly answered about Pritkin in the last Q&A, but I'd love a short story about it! That would be truly epic. And I want to know how Jonas joined too now! And about how me met Agnes and got into a relationship with her.


message 395: by Gabrielle (new)

Gabrielle Nicole | 1 comments Pritkin and Cassie of course , though it wouldn't be bad to meet Mircea :P


message 396: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments Awww I totally want that now!!!! where do i get the q&a at? We need to get KC to write this!!!


message 397: by Somnium (new)

Somnium Shadows | 437 comments The Q&As are all here. If you want to ask any questions, or anything else, just send a message to KC on her page here. Hope that helps :) They save my life, I swear.


message 398: by Naomi (new)

Naomi | 69 comments Lol i think they have saved most of our lives! :) Thank you! It does help.


message 399: by [deleted user] (new)

Mircea, because he is hawt!(fans herself)...but then I'd get all shy and freak out because he is a really powerful and centuries old vampire - so maybe not :)


message 400: by Lannister (last edited Jan 21, 2012 07:16AM) (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments LOL Anna, yeah, I think meeting Mircea would be like meeting a rock star or a movie star or someone like that. (Well, it does say in the books that because of his family name, he's like a rockstar in the vamp world). I'd probably get all tongue-tied and blush and talk nonsense!

I think the key to catching Marlowe's interest would be to play it cool, and act mysterious like you're up to no good. That's my theory anyway LOL!
