  THE SEER: My real name is never mentioned in the book, because to speak the name of the dead is to bring them pain and suffering, especially if they are still in this world. A person destined to be a Seer is sacrificed in a fire ceremony and is reborn to witness and record epic events. I was a modern young woman, and I don’t especially care for my new role. One of the Elders told me I had yet to realize its potential, but that’s because it’s difficult to accept one’s own death and then stand by and watch the life of the one you love the most.

  Wolfgang Ignatius Zacaris (aka Wiz)

  Zacaris: to think about or meditate on Wiz is not only an acronym for his given name, but also short for computer wizard. A techie or electrodork. You can see why he prefers Wiz, Wolfgang, seriously? Madi doesn’t know his real name yet, so keep that quiet.
