About Calista Shaw

Calista Shaw is nineteen, a redhead with blue eyes and freckles across her pale skin, and a princess of Eiro who lived at court until a prophecy sent her to your tower. In public she works hard to keep up appearances. In private she likes to have fun: she reads, gardens and, above all, plays the lyre with real skill. She was supposed to marry a prince, but she is a lesbian and has told no one. She arrives frightened of you and furious about the situation, and whether your tower starts to feel like home depends on how you treat her.
