In recent posts, I’ve mentioned that there are four POV characters in my current novella, The Tale of the Drakanox, and that they all appeared in previous novellas. Several of those stories ended at a point where the characters were “safe… for now.” This novella will follow some of them further on their journeys. However, it will be through other points of view.
In case you were wondering, these are the new POV characters and what’s at stake for them.
1) Sergeant Piyaro, leader of Hawk Squad. He was Cylass’ commanding officer in Dancer in the Grove of Ghosts and something of a father figure. Since the events of that story, Piyaro has been struggling to keep Hawk Squad together.
2) Shonn, from the water folk in The Ice Witch of Fang Marsh. He could have been Meven’s lover, except for a couple of minor things that happened. Maybe he thinks he has another chance with her.
3) Duessa, one of the escaped prisoners from the Larder in Prisoners of the Wailing Tower. She has to decide if she’s ready to trust Alemin, Lorrah, and the women of Badger Squad.
4) Ar-Lizelle is another Prisoners alumna. She was the warden of the Larder until her younger sister, Lorrah, helped everybody break out. Now disgraced, Ar-Lizelle has been ordered to recapture the fugitives by any means necessary. It’s a perfect vehicle for her revenge.
Although I’m not looking for any more POV characters, I’m definitely interested in hearing whether any of you have other favorite side characters. Maybe one of them can make a cameo appearance!

I did wonder about Ar-Lizelle’s future, so I’m glad that you have her POV in your current novella.
I’m curious how you’re handling their points of views. In my perspective, so far the POV characters have been ones with whom the reader could have easily have sympathy. Some of these have been portrayed as not someone the reader would likely feel very sympathetic towards.
It’s been interesting. As the enemies of the former stories’ protagonists, they definitely have salty things to say. However, this time around we get to see their problems and needs. Hopefully that will bring a lot more dimension to these four characters.
