A blood hound follows Myrizhah everywhere--a magical beast conjured by the emperor who protects her while she carries the boy.

THE BLOOD HOUND FOLLOWING MYRIZHAH flopped down in the street outside the tinker’s shop Myrizhah entered. She knew better than to think the hound would grow bored and leave while she shopped. Even if she tried going out the back, or ran away on the fastest horse, it would still find her. No woman escaped the blood hounds.

His nose was black and took up a disproportional amount of his snout. His eyes were just a shade lighter than his fur. The hound looked sad and too aware, as if he had seen too many babies die.
