Sena
A century-old relic hunter turned Hollowmere grave-tender, seeking vengeance but finding family.
Sena is a unique figure in the Kettle & Crown series: chronologically over a hundred years old yet biologically appearing as a young woman of twenty-two. This paradox stems from her infancy on the battlefield of Karsmoor, where she was orphaned and preserved within a cold war-ward stone until her awakening. Arriving in Book 4 with a singular drive for vengeance against the Deathless, her path unexpectedly shifted toward connection rather than retribution.
