Character List
· Elara Vance - A shy sixteen-year-old who moves from Colorado to North Carolina in 1996 after her botanist parents accept positions at the Alderwood Institute. She carries a quiet depth and an innate sensitivity to the natural world.
· Alex Samson - A quiet, thoughtful boy from Everwood, son of a local historian and a librarian. He finds solace in old maps, fantasy novels, and the forgotten legends of his town.
· Iris Hartwell - Alex's grandmother, a woman well-versed in the old ways of Everwood. She becomes a mentor to Elara and Alex as they discover their connection to the Heartwood.
· Director Thorne - The cold, ambitious head of a secretive division within the Alderwood Institute. He seeks to exploit the Heartwood's ancient power.
· Dr. Margaret Vance - Elara's mother, a research botanist whose grief after her husband's death initially blinds her to the danger around her.
· Mr. Samson - Alex's father, a historian and cartographer who serves on the town's preservation board. He becomes an unwitting target when he opposes Thorne's plans.
· Dr. Robert Vance - Elara's father (deceased). A botanist whose passion for plants and quiet love for his family linger in Elara's memory.
