Elisette — Sue Perkins

Capet Sard helps Lise obtain a job as nursemaid in the floating Castle of Lan. Love blossoms between noble and servant, but Sard is called home to Rak.

Shortly after his departure Lise discovers she is pregnant and travels to Rak. Rescued by the spiritual Eos, Lise finishes the journey on foot but is captured by Brenauf, an old adversary of Sard's. Brenauf has inherited the title of Duke of Rak, but many people think he is not the true heir as the castle is tilting and the weather is uncontrollable.

Miserable, pregnant and frightened for her baby's welfare, Lise can see no way out of her captivity. Sard has discovered her whereabouts and joins with the Eos to attempt to save his beloved. Failure to rescue Lise and also find the true heir could mean disaster for Rak and the whole planet of Hejmen.
