MEET THE CHARACTERS:
IAN VEHEMENS
Ian's parents divorce when he is twelve years old. He then lives with his mother on the Island Lucida while his one year younger brother stays with the father in the province Ager. While his brother, raised by the rude drunkard becomes the owner of a brothel at age 18 - Ian goes a quite different path. He makes his dream of becoming chef of a noble restaurant come true when he's 22. Ian opens his own restaurant in Vitrea, the Crystal town of Lucida. Being a workaholic he is hardly interested in mindless flirting which makes him turn down the singer Celerina. Then one day, a year after he started his business a girl in torn pirate clothes steps into his restaurant with his friend Ardor. She says her name is Aurea and that she had lived her whole life in slavery. Ian immediately feels protective of the unusual and naive young woman who seems to know little about the world. He teaches her a lot of things, including what it's like to be loved. During her Light Magus apprenticeship their life seems perfect, but from the moment it ends and she is crowned queen - it all starts falling apart. What really happens on their wedding day? Why does Ian leave Aurea? And how does he feel about meeting her again a year after that - with a king by her side?
