Lepis has been a dynamic, interesting character since she was born as Queen of Loess. In the time since she has served three kingdoms, divorced two men, loved one, and birthed eight children. Currently, she is the ruler of Taiga, but she has played a pivotal role in the fates of many lands. She is always a fun read and usually has a surprise waiting for us. Congrats to Lepis!

times before she is left waiting for a
kindness that never comes."
