Rashard

• Son of Baldr, wingbrother of prince Kjorn and the only pure-blood Vanir kit who survived The Conquering. He is the nest-son of Caj and Sigrun and the nest-brother of Thyra. He is the Summer King, and the son of king Baldr and queen Ragna.
  • He is loyal to the Red King Sverin, and participates in The Hunt along with his wingbrother and other young males. After killing Lapu, he meets the wolf Catori.
  • He is trained by his uncle Stigr and learns that he is the son of Queen Ragna and the dead king Baldr; the true prince of the Silver Isles and also the Summer King.
  • After learning of his heritage, he challenges Sverin and dives into the sea, presumed to be dead by most of the pride (exceptions: Sigrun, Ragna).

Sigrun

• Daughter-of-Hrafn, mate to Caj, mother of Thyra, nest-mother of Shard, and the healer of the pride.
  • She begged Per to spare Shard and claimed that the kit was hers rather than Baldr's, as Per would never have let Shard live knowing he was a prince.
