Like many heroes, Dove is born with no knowledge of who she is or what she is capable of. We meet her as a rosy-cheeked, naive, effervescent kitchen maid - kind, awkward and clumsy. Embarking on this journey against everyone's wishes, she takes her life into her own hands for the first time to rescue the guy she loves. At the start, everyone will wonder if she's capable of being the 'chosen one,' herself included. By the end of the series, she will be fearless; committed to defeating evil and capable of
much more than anyone thought possible.
