Thelana is born in the Braid River Valley of Ilmarinen. In an event that haunts her all of her life, her eldest brother, Borz, is sold into slavery when she is very young.

​

On the eve of her womanhood, famine forces her into the Wildwood, where Thelana struggles to survive, hunting prey while hiding from predatory saurians. She eventually stumbles into Makria, a small village nestled along the edges of the jungle. Naked and emaciated, she is taken in by a kindly old woman, Kabira. But Thelana returns to the forest after killing a local boy in self-defense.

 

Many more cycles pass until she meets Dantes, a military captain from Kratos, and, proving her archery skills, is quickly recruited into his army, becoming a valuable scout. On the Plains of Narth, Dantes's forces are overrun by bogren, and Thelana, torn with longing for the idyllic life she knew, abandons the battlefield. Returning to Ilmarinen, she finds no traces of her family. 

 

Fleeing to Hedonia, Thelana hides in the slums with the city's other outcasts before climbing the pyramid Temple of Sargonus. As she pries the giant pearl eye from the idol of the Hedonian Sea God, she is caught by the zealous High Priest and his followers. With the aid of an Ilmarin stranger, Xandr, she is apprehended and thrown into a pit beneath the city. There, she waits, wondering about the man she has just met. Is he a traitor to their people? Or will he rescue her?
