Kallos
Diya
The Mentor
She once loved the man who became the Dark King. Now she trains the one who will stop him.
Diya once loved the man who became the Dark Fairy King. Before the barrier. Before the darkness took root. She has spent the decades since building something else — a training ground for Kallos, a school of magic, a bulwark against what she knows is coming.
She is not soft about it. She has no time to be. The Healers she trains carry the weight of two worlds, and she trains them accordingly.
When Alina arrives, Diya recognizes something immediately: this one is different. The prophecy kind of different. And that means everything Diya has built is about to be tested.
