Dawnielle Jacobson
Dawnielle Jacobson is the editing half of The Chronicler and The Archivist, a writer-editor duo. As The Archivist (a goblin menace in the fantasy world of Ex’ala), she can be found hovering over The Chronicler’s shoulder pointing out inconsistencies in his stories, or causing mischief by “misplacing” forbidden books from the Hall of Records. In her mortal life, Dawnielle is a translator and editor who freelances with international organizations. She has made language a lifelong study and, as a result, is an insufferable pedant.

It's been two years since Yechvan Uldi left his homeland to accompany his mentor on a diplomatic mission to the once-hostile Five Nations. Relegated to an inconsequential town, they have made what inroads they could. But time is running short on their endeavor, for their enemies have long memories and vengeful hearts.
