Character Analysis

Bryce Quinlan

Bryce is a 23-year-old half human-half Fae. She is strikingly attractive, with a tall, slender build, long red hair, and the pointed ears of the Fae. She works as an assistant at an art gallery but leads an aimless life in a dead-end job while partying too hard with her friends at night. Because her closest friends all possess magical powers, Bryce is viewed as the least worthwhile member of the group by outsiders. The magical Vanir look down on her. Her own father, the king of the Fae, ignores her existence in favor of her brother, Ruhn.

Bryce deliberately projects a party girl persona, but she is far from an empty-headed wild child. She is an expert sharpshooter, thanks to her stepfather and the combat training he gave her. She has also inherited the Starborn gift of light from her Fae ancestors. When she reveals her light and uses it to save the city, everyone begins to respect her for the first time.

Bryce will do anything to protect those she loves, and her world is upended when her closest friend, a wolf shapeshifter named Danika, is brutally murdered. Bryce goes on a mission to find Danika’s killer and tries to deal with her grief over the loss of her dearest companion.
