Rose Wolfe is the main character of The Twelve Kingdoms. She was born the crown princess, but when her kingdom fell- so did she. Her family dead, and her kingdom in shambles; Rose fakes her death and escapes to a kingdom where no one will recognize her.

That is until a mysterious elf arrives, calling her by her true name...

Animo Terrot is an elven warrior whose dark past fuels his future. Following the orders of an ancient and powerful elf, he searches the Twelve Kingdoms for a princess most believe to be dead. 

But when he finally finds her, things don't go according to plan.

Megara "Megs" Mohler is one of Rose's best friends. She's inventive, reckless, and fiercely loyal. She lives a happy life in Rudane.

Then a night of bloodshed changes everything...

Hertz Baldwick is a local baker and best friend of Rose and Megs. He is kind yet protective of his friends. His ambitions lie within the Kingdom of Chess; he hopes to settle down and open a family bakery.

But before that, he must join his friends on a dangerous quest.

Ketchnoori of Family Runix is the traveling companion of Animo. This dwarf has a history of prison breaks, scars galore, a penchant for explosives, and an adoration for dragons. 

Of course, he's ready to embark on this adventure.
