Meet the Characters

~ BOOK 1 ~

Melanie Waldens

The 20 year old protagonist of The Tindoria Chronicles, Melanie finds herself thrown into an adventure of a lifetime where she faces capture and the wrath of a tyrant, and embarks on a rescue mission to save her brother and dragon.

Jason Waldens

The second protagonist, Melanie’s 18 year old brother is quick-witted despite his enslavement to a ruthless militant, but when he finds a noble purpose amidst his prison, he casts his fears aside and resolves to stop at nothing to achieve it.

Scalaed

Saved from death before his birth, Scalaed is secretly raised by Melanie and Jason in the desert state of Arizona. As the years go by, be begins to wonder more and more of where he came from and what is his destiny. And that woman’s voice and his tremors … could they all be connected?

Briefur

As a member of the Hündr, Briefur is a trarewolf; one of five canid tribes. With the patron of a wolf, he can assume his animal form at will or summon specific attributes should the situation call for it. He’s a skilled tracker, and becomes Melanie’s first ally.

Fallon

As Briefur’s younger cousin, Fallon is also one of the Hündr. A froxil to be exact. She has incredible hearing and the curiosity and mischief of a fox. Like her cousin, she wields a short blade and joins Briefur and Melanie on her rescue mission.

Elken

A mysterious archer of the Thornbrillian hunting party, Elken is on the hunt alongside the High Huntress Helnah, who tasks him with keeping an eye on their prisoner Melanie. But is he here of his own accord?

Helnah

Ruthless. Tyrant. Monster. Villain. Just some of the titles those who cross her might think. With a complicated and tragic backstory, Helnah vows to conquer all of Tindoria, and as the realm’s ruler, eradicate all war. But behind this seemingly noble quest, she hides secrets horrifying enough to give hardened men nightmares. And what does she want with the Waldens siblings?

Baraden

A disgraced scribe, Baraden now lives a simple life of solitude in the outskirts of the Hündr’s White Village. Wielder of an ancient weapon thought lost to legend, he provides wisdom and aid to any who stop by his cabin … provided his dog Byrn doesn’t eat them first.

Empress Elethýna

Immeasurably powerful, Empress Elethýna is a celestial—an immortal whose origins remain a mystery, and she’s lived since Tindoria’s dawn. Her visitations allude to looming events, apocalyptic or benevolent, and those to whom she appears become her chosen warriors.

Thendrell

He’s been by Helnah’s side since she began her conquest, and there is nothing that would tear him from her side. Loyal to the end, Thendrell is her right-hand man and keeps an eye on Helnah to make sure she doesn’t do anything too foolish.

Laena

Once living as nobility, now cast into the dark, dank depths of prison, Laena has been subjected to loneliness and torture for … well, she’s lost track of how long. All she knows is there is no going back, so she might as well succumb to the despair that suffocates her daily.

Keth & Helketh

Almost an inseparable duo, Keth and Helketh are two of Elken’s acquaintances. Bumbling and imbecilic at times, Keth does his best to be useful while Helketh cleans up the aftermath of what was, more often than not, Keth’s mistake. Elken can’t stand either of them.

Elthar

A recluse in his lab filled with questionable potions, Elthar is the healer on staff at the Fortress of Thornbrill, mainly to aid Helnah, but he is only one of two who knows as to why.

Poison Ivy

Let’s just say she wasn’t supposed to be like this … but Jason couldn’t leave her.

The White Chief & Chieftess

Helmir and Vytia together rule the White Village of the Hündr. Intense and combat-hardened, Helmir’s qualities are complimented by the gentleness and wisdom of his wife. They are loved by the village and will fight to the death to protect their people.

Lucy & Ian Waldens

Melanie and Jason’s parents met in California in a small town under tumultuous circumstances. After marrying two years later, they were stationed in California followed by another move to Arizona.

Melanie Waldens

Melanie thought she’d be on her way home now, but after Baraden unveils a secret of history, she must stay and find what has been lost. This may be what reveals her destiny in Tindoria.

Jason Waldens

With his new powers, Jason devotes his time to undo Helnah’s wrongs, and with the help of a noblewoman, he wastes no time departing for the Fortress of Thornbrill. Little does he know of what awaits him when he finishes.

Kyle Waldens

The newest and unexpected addition to the group, Kyle is summoned by the Golden Prince himself. Tindoria is a long way from his home at his parents’ ranch, but he quickly embraces his position in this new realm.

The Golden Prince

He is the son of Empress Elethýna and even more rarely seen to the point many wonder if he ever existed at all. His name has long since been forgotten by the world…except for one.

Conrad & April Waldens

Horse ranchers and preppers, Kyle’s parents are a dynamic duo. Following the disappearance of their niece and nephew, they immediately stepped in to support Ian and Lucy by giving them refuge at their home. No one could predict that Kyle would also vanish.

Chief Klarn

His execution for his heinous crime did not go as expected, and now he vows to return from the wretched prison and his suffer in.

Caito

Hatred for her chief keeps her warm in these wastelands. With the sole mission of killing Klarn ever on her mind, Caito faces just one problem…Klarn cannot be killed.

Chief Kevin

Ally of the Hündr and Kottrans, the Centaur Chief Kevin is a force in battle against the invaders that plague their borders. But is he prepared for what comes in the aftermath?

Feltzspar

While the tribes celebrate another victory, Feltzspar notices the disappearance of Cevian’s best scout, and the young centaur is sent to find him. Something is amiss.

Arnis

A flirtatious tracker, Arnis accompanies Feltzspar into the darkness of the woods to locate the missing scout.

Helnah

She never thought she would be free, but with her curse broken, Helnah must choose between staying hidden from the enemy’s gaze, or join the forces of good she had only just been fighting days prior.

RUN

Run, you idiots!
