Rowan Lawson, Justin's close friend and the son of the influential Lawson family, was known for his wit and charm. The Lawsons were among the four most powerful families in the Imperial city. Rowan and Justin had studied abroad together, but unlike Justin, Rowan had returned home to manage the family business.
