About Ruby Dixon

Villain Origin Story: Everyone has their limit. Joslen just hit hers. Life has never been easy for a poor, uneducated village girl, especially one with a crooked back that has some villagers muttering she’s been cursed at birth. But when things in Joslen's life go from bad to progressively worse, it fills her with intense frustration. How does she fight back against an arranged marriage and a lifetime of misery if no one will even listen to her? What's a nice girl supposed to do? A brush with the handsome but dangerous Scourge King, the conqueror of her land, teaches her something important.

    Gwenna has always considered herself a normal person. A former servant, she wants nothing more than to land a steady job with the Royal Artifactual Guild so she can make some steady coin to send home to her mother. She's not special. She's certainly not a necromancer. That would be impossible, given how necromancing (or any 'mancing) is forbidden upon penalty of death. So if the dead keep talking to her? Well, she's going to keep on ignoring them. They're not going to stand in the way of her dreams. Also standing in her way? One big, arrogant, far-too-flirty Taurian named Raptor.
