Main Characters

 * Nathaniel Wendell – Enrolled at Oxford University. Nathaniel must learn to realize the consequences of his decisions are not always the only consideration to be had. He is the protagonist of the series.
 * Julian Elliott – Enrolled in Law Studies at Oxford University. Julian comes from a single-parent household of affluence and has a rather strained relationship with his own father to the point where he resents his father’s efforts to control his life, though not always openly so. He quickly develops a strong friendship with Nathaniel.
 * Mercy Hale – Resident anthropologist with the Historical Society of Salem, Massachusetts. Mercy is quite perceptive of Nathaniel’s frustrations as he struggles to deal with the consequences of his own decisions. She appears to be the first person in whom Nathaniel has truly chosen to confide.
 * Ebenezer "Ben" Hale - Enrolled in Theater Studies at Salem State University and part-time historical reenactor. Ben has a close relationship with his older sister and housemate, Mercy Hale.  It is through her that he meets Nathaniel for the first time.

Secondary Characters

 * Jean Kensington – Avid photographer and resident of Oxford, England. Jean is an individual who has not given up on her own childhood, preferring to take full advantage of life rather than allow it to pass her by.  She hosted both Nathaniel and Julian while they attended Oxford University.
 * Ellowyn – Powerful patron of the natural world. Ellowyn is not ambiguous about her own loyalties or the abilities she possesses.  She will provide counsel, aid, and even safe haven to those in need, but will not use her powers to solve their problems for them as she feels this would be doing such individuals a great disservice.
