The Black-Market Scribe & Old Friend
“The truth is worth something, but knowing who to sell it to? That’s everything.”
Alis Tarren is a survivor first, historian second. She walks the line between truth and profit, knowing that information is the most valuable currency in a world where history can be rewritten. She’s Nera’s oldest friend, but they don’t always see eye to eye—truth, to Alis, is just another tool.
Who Is Alis Tarren?
- The Black-Market Scribe
Alis doesn’t just record history—she sells it to the highest bidder. She can forge signatures, alter documents, and smuggle erased knowledge to those who can pay for it. - A Survivor in the Shadows
She moves fast, quiet, unseen, built for slipping through places unnoticed. Her pockets are always full of stolen texts, coded notes, and escape plans. - Nera’s Oldest Friend
They grew up together, but while Nera fights for the truth, Alis fights to survive. They want the same things—in a way. - Will She Stay or Will She Leave?
Alis never expected to fight this war forever. She always has a backup plan, an escape route.
