First glimpse of Noel  Stone as interpreted by my young artist friend John Taylor.

Reveal #1: Noel comes from a Dark Fae family, but chose to leave them behind to teach music to Lark (Delfaerune’s musical prodigy and potential savior).

I characterize Noel (pronounced “knoll”) as the hero in my Delfaerune Rhapsody series-in-progress. He is introduced in Song of the Ocarina, the first book in the young-adult, fantasy-adventure trilogy, due out in late 2013.

Watch for more clues in the coming days to reveal Noel’s whole character image — plus, image reveals of his menacing Dark Fae brother Mikk. Also, watch Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
