Ruth Barrow / Mare’s Mother
Mare’s best friend and possible romantic interest. Kilorn is a Red fisherman’s apprentice whose master dies at the beginning of the novel, dooming him to conscription and all the horrors of a military life. Unbeknownst to Mare, Kilorn joins the Scarlet Guard with the hope of carrying out a Red revolution. Because Kilorn’s father died when he was a child, and his mother was unable to support him, Mare sees Kilorn as someone to take care of. His decision to join the Scarlet Guard seems to be at least in part motivated by a desire to prove that he is not only self-sufficient but also able to help Mare while she is imprisoned in the palace.

Chapter 6
Quotes
From my vantage point, hidden behind the flowers, I’m level with the king’s box and slightly behind it. Mare Barrow, a few yards from the king. What would my family think, or Kilorn for that matter? This man sends us to die, and I’ve willingly become his servant. It makes me sick.

Chapter 17
Quotes
My legs move on their own, swinging out in a maneuver I’ve used in the back alleys of the Stilts a hundred times. Even on Kilorn once or twice. My foot connects with her leg, sweeping it out from under her, and she crashes to the floor next to me. I’m on her in a second, despite the exploding pain in my back. My hands crackle with hot energy, even as they collide against her face. Pain sears through my knuckle-bones but I keep going, wanting to see sweet silverblood.
