Iris Cousland is a survivor. She and her older brother are the sole remains of the Cousland family, the heir's of Highever and only second to the royal family. Loyal and clever in both court and family, but Iris was never meant for that life. She has too much of the wolf in her to ever settle down like Fergus. Even broken, losing as much as they both did, he takes up the title Lord and she takes her own. The Right Hand, the one who stayed because she owed it to him. . And then the sky opened.
