Riyu
Riyu has learned to live safely, quietly, and cautiously. But beneath her ordinary life lies a forgotten self, waiting for the moment she is forced to become more than she believes she can be.
Meet the Characters
Characters
Some have forgotten too much. Some remember what they should not. And some are still waiting for Riyu to become herself.
The characters of The Fire Tree carry forgotten lives, hidden powers, old bonds, and unanswered questions. Their stories unfold across worlds.
New Reader Safe New Reader Safe Lenny / Leander
A healer and protector whose calm hides patience of a deeper kind. He answers most questions plainly. The ones he doesn’t are the ones to watch.
New Reader Safe Grandma
Warm, clever, stubborn, and full of small certainties. She has lived alongside the worlds long enough to know when to speak and when to let a story arrive on its own.
New Reader Safe Ikar
A horse of unusual presence. Loyal in a way that feels older than his years, and far more attentive than a horse should be.
New Reader Safe June
A small cat. Easy to overlook. The wise rarely do.
New Reader Safe The Great White
A dragon of the Outer World. Ancient, weakened, and patient — which, in something so old, is its own kind of power.
New Reader Safe The Storyteller
A traveler who carries her past lightly and her stories carefully. What she says is rarely the whole of what she means.
