## Snapshot

A powerful Amoz hunter whose grisly trophy won him the right to claim Dian, and whose pursuit of her set the whole story in motion.

## Who they are

Jubal the Ugly One placed the head of a mighty tandor before Dian's father's house, a trophy no rival could match, and by the customs of Amoz that made her his. Dian fled rather than submit, and the Sagoths caught her in the hills. Though Jubal never appears on the page, his shadow drives Dian's captivity and gives David's growing feelings for her a rival worth fearing.
