A rambunctious girl who hates her studying and is very much in love with the idea of adventure. The two of them became extremely good friends and as the years past they became something more then friends. However the rifts of their social classes are too deep and Cara's mother Queen Rebecca does not agree that Daniel would be a fit husband for her daughter. The Queen is determined that Cara will marry Prince Myrick of Mortum and unite their kingdoms; because of this Daniel is banished from Praeclara to Sangarie, the kingdom across the sea. Daniel is determined to return to Praeclara and reunite with Cara, but he must find a way to make their marriage acceptable. When Daniel reaches Sangarie he earns the help of the most unlikely person. A man named Castan, known by the people as Living Dead; a man so dangerous people tremble at his name. There is no doubt in Daniel's mind that he could easily kill him at any time if it was in his gain, and he would feel no remorse. But Daniel is ready to risk it if Castan can indeed help him.
