Shocked and disbelieving, Anastasya's fledgling denial rapidly transform to grim acceptance and then into a cold, burning desire to clear her name by discovering who manipulated her, and how. She only becomes aware of these bleak events when she is brought back as one of the Unliving by her Great-Aunt Sveltana, a practitioner of the mysterious arts of necromancy. In spite of the intervention of her mentor, the legendary Archangel Uriel, pledging the crime was not of her own willing, she is delivered to the Holy Inquisition, and summarily executed by her elder brother Anton. She would have been all these things had it not been for a single accursed moment: the assassination of her father by her own hand.

Taking up the title of Duke of Griffin when he came of age, Slava now leads a strong House, and has five healthy, determined children who he is certain will do the Griffin name proud. Raised by his Aunt, the Necromancer Sveltana, after the death of his father when he was only a boy, Slava nonetheless managed to grow a rash but good-natured young man. Before that, little is recorded, though it is certain, from the ruins of ancient civilizations that dot the landscape, that Ashan is thousands of years old.
