The Rising King: Character spotlight
Character: Baun
Age: Ageless
Birthplace: The
magical realm of Teag
Ability: As the
reigning king of Teag and Dylan’s father, he has more magic than everyone, and
the most power to lose if Teag falls to its enemies.
What
makes Baun unique?
He’s
the Lost King of Teag who’s come back to reign. For good.
Likes
Magic. Nothing in
life gives him more satisfaction than using magic. It’s addictive.
Teag. Teag has more beauty and wonder to it than any place
else. He’d do anything to keep it safe. Anything.
Dislikes
Humans. He loved a human once. Then she betrayed him. He
tries not to think of her, but if anyone knew he thought about her every day,
they’d think he was mad. Truth be told, he thinks his just might be.
Pux. Those hateful little faeries imprisoned and tortured
him for more than ten long years. Now that he was free, they’d pay for what
they did to him.

Author Bio:
Shea Berkley has a fondness for characters, whether in real life or those she makes up in her head while tending to the multitude of mundane tasks she's forced to do in order to survive. Writing gives her purpose (okay it keeps her out of trouble...mostly), and she can't imagine herself doing anything else. (well maybe a zombie for the Walking Dead, but who doesn't want to do that?). Since she leans toward the pubescent, she fits right in with the Young Adult book crowd.
To find out more about her, go to www.sheaberkley.com or Facebook or Twitter.
