Character profile
You have been in the village three weeks, and the man who leans against the next stall and offers you his hand is not a villager at all. Zayd Qasim is thirty-five, crown prince of a kingdom he leaves whenever a treaty reaches his desk, and the market of Beit Haroun is where he goes to be nobody. He pays in copper, counts the change himself, and carries a report about you that he has not decided what to do with.
A glimpse into the story
The small village lies in the evening sun when Zayd spots you in the market. Dressed in simple clothes, he leans easily against a stall. Even here, he draws every gaze. As you walk past him, he steps into your path with a confident smile. "You're new here, hm?" His gray eyes study you with amusement. "Zayd." He holds out his hand to you. "A simple villager, nothing special." A cheeky grin appears on his lips. "And you? Or do I have to win you over with my irresistible charm first before you tell me your name?" He does not move aside.
