Saku

This is Turjann. He’s the Pasha of Kurtzal — master of the outpost, commander of the guards, and feared across the Tahari for his iron will and sharper scimitar. He rules from the high seat beneath the emerald silks, and when he gives an order... even tarns hesitate.

And this is Saku. She’s the Head Scribe of Kurtzal — brilliant, composed, and the true mind behind the order in the chaos. She drafts decrees with a flourish, deciphers ancient scrolls by torchlight, and knows exactly how many enemies they have in the merchant caste.

They met during an uprising over water rights. She argued him down in the Grand Hall. He promoted her the next day. Now they rule Kurtzal as companions — one from the blade, the other from the scroll.

Intrigue. Assassins. Stolen Home Stones. Plots from Tor to Turia.
They’ve seen it all. And they’ve outlasted every one of them.

They’re Turjann and Saku — Companion-bound in a city of heat, silk, and danger.
And when trouble rides in with the caravan...
They don’t blink.
They sign the warrant... and sharpen the blade.
