A Bite of – Dinnis from Arkad’s Children

Gain insight into Dinnis, a major character in Arkad’s Children which is released today!

Q1: What do you most like about where you live and why?

Dinnis:  I live in the Golden Palace of Tamra as an age-mate to the heir to the Throne, Prince Mannok. Sounds like a dream come true, right? But it’s not. Not where I want to be, but it’s better than being treated as a captive or sent to work in the mines or killed, I guess. I do love the Royal Library – it’s huge, full of old codexes and maps and other wonders. Oh, and I like the kitchens. Always good to know where your next meal is coming from.

Q2: How would your friends describe you?

Friends? I’m not sure I have any. Well, Garvin I suppose, but he would make friends with a doorpost if he thought it was lonely. And Tilli and her family. They’d say I’m morose, difficult and snarky. Not a great warrior, but someone who knows things and gets the job done when needed.

Q3: What is your greatest ambition and why?

To make my own life, not to have my future determined for me. And to be a healer rather than a warrior, someone who brings life rather than death. It’s difficult though as I’m expected to fit in at the Palace, but I think I can do it with a bit of ingenuity.
