Kylah Aednat Brannagh
O'Cianain
- Her name means beautiful fire raven. Kylah is the granddaughter of Morrigan and Brighid but has no idea they are goddesses. She thinks her family is no different than anyone else’s; she sees Brighid on holidays and Morrigan whenever she is in town on business. She lives with her two brothers and her sister-in-law, Vivi in an apartment in Chelsea. She is a costume designer on a popular Broadway show and works part-time at the family bar (Keenan’s Irish Pub), but Kylah is so
much more than she knows and will soon find out.
In the human world she is known as Kylah
Keenan. Aednat is pronounced as Ay-nit.

Note: O
'Cianain is an alternative spelling for Keenan but the family chose to use the more modern version so they don’t draw attention to themselves.

Other Characters
-

Olivia Batianni
- She is Kylah’s best friend and neighbor. She is
a spoiled Italian princess and she has no issues telling anyone that. Her brother Vincent is the underboss to one of the most feared families in New York. Both Olivia and Vincent command the respect of those around them, but Vincent is a bit lax when it comes to Kylah because he has a crush on her. He often does special things to try and win her affection despite the subtle warnings from Dillon and Tynan. Olivia’s two favorite pastimes are shopping and flirting with Dillon.

Adaira
- She works as a bartender at Keenan’s. She is supernatural but the origin of her power is unknown. Not even Dillon knows what she is, but one thing for certain is no one wants to cross her. Humans are enthralled with her and will do as she wishes, but even some in the supernatural fear her abilities to control free will.

Liam
- He is the leader of the Sluagh. He is a half-Seelie/half-Unseelie and the son of the Unseelie king. Liam’s background is too intricate to post at this time, but his story will unfold throughout the series.

Layne
- Her name means offspring of the challenger. She is an ageless demon with immeasurable power. She has many secrets and all of them lead to her being angry and full of hate. She has only one goal and it’s not what you may think. She works as one of Liam’s commanders in order to get her closer to her objective…revenge.

Gavin
- One of Liam’s loyal commanders. He is Liam’s right hand and handles all of the tasks Liam does not wish to handle personally. Gavin is an attractive man but the tattoos covering his body lends to a menacing, somewhat unnerving appearance.

The Naio (The Nine)
-

Aerric Aodhan (Eric Aidan)
- Aerric is a dragon phoenix, the only one of his kind. He was created by the goddesses to protect them and those they care about. Due to the fact that he was indeed "made" and not born, he knows no family other than Morrigan and Brighid. He is immortal and can only die if the ones who created him cease to exist. He does, however, have a special connection to Zephira and Nadia.

Obsydian aka Syd
- He is a 2000 year old demon. He h
as the beauty and arrogance of a vampire and is a complete smartass. He is one of The Nine’s most ruthless fighters and their secret weapon. He wields a sword like a Viking and has the strength of a god. When his eyes change color, he has different powers. Most believe his existence is only a myth.

Calina Veles
- She is a gypsy dhampire and comes from a royal bloodline. She is half gypsy/half vampire. Young but wise beyond her years and highly skilled in combat, but in the event she doesn’t want to fight, she can invoke a curse in less time than it takes to sing the first stanza of "Twinkle, twinkle little star."

Rhydderch aka Rhyder
- He is a lycanthrope shifter. He turns into a seven foot blue/grey wolf. He is carefree but loves a good fight. A true ladies’ man.

Zephira & Nadia

Evan O’Cainnon
- He is a demi-god and Brighid’s grandson. His father, Dubhlainn O’Cianain, Brighid’s eldest son, fell in love with a human woman and lived in the human realm until she passed on.

Upon his father’s passing, he took his rightful place among The Nine. He and Dillon are close friends.
