The Triempery series has a variety of villains.

Is she a sorcerer in possession of a god-infested device of immense power? No. But she’s leader of the Seven Houses and that’s almost as na

Illustration by CB Landsell Noemi is an interesting character and one I love dearly. As with many secondary characters, she appeared out of necessity and stuck around, creating ways to wiggle into other characters’ story arcs—Dorilian’s in particular.

Palimia is one of those characters who sneak into a book. You know the ones, they come to your house as the guest of a person you invited, and you end up liking them. The person you know just well enough to be able to say you know they exist. And then one day your car breaks down at a local store, and you need a jump. So you look around and there they are. Waving from their car. So you ask for a jump, or a lift, or to use their cell phone. And just like that they become part
