Anxious to escape a life of servitude, Feeona Green left behind the safety of her father's manor house to wander as a bard. She discovered a band of mercenaries who live outside the common laws and charmed them into adopting her. Sharing their forest refuge from thaw to frost, Feeona spends her days writing ballads about the less-than-honorable acts of the Densman. Occasionally she shares in their adventures. Mostly she watches and waits for one Densman to notice her in return.
