Jocelyn emerges in 'Rites of the Starling' as a striking young noblewoman with wavy blond hair, expressive brown eyes, and a slender, graceful figure, navigating the treacherous waters of medieval fantasy intrigue aboard ships and across open plains. Initially serving as lady's maid to Odessa Cross, she swiftly reveals her duplicitous nature by spying for the enigmatic Banner and conducting a passionate affair with Zavier Wolfe, marking her evolution from poised attendant to a betrayer entangled in romantic and political webs.
