Keli

Princess Keli appears mainly in the book Mort. She is about sixteen years old when she becomes the Queen of Sto Lat, after her father, the King, is killed by her uncle.

Mort, who is Death's apprentice, falls in love with her when he first sees her. That is why he spares her life a short time later on his first mission. Instead of taking Keli's soul, Mort takes the assassin's soul to the realm of the dead.

This deed has grave consequences. Even though Keli is alive, nobody seems to notice her. The reality in which Keli is dead, is slowly taking over again. And Mort is fighting against time, with the help of Ysabell and the young wizard Cutwell.

In the end, Death, impressed by their stubborness, changes reality for them, and Keli remains Queen of Sto Lat or, to be more specific, Her Supreme Majesty, Queen Kelirehenna I, Lord of Sto Lat, Protector of the Eight Protectorates and Empress of the Long Thin Debated Piece Hubwards of Sto Kerrig.

Although people of the Sto Plains like to think of themselves as having the most civilized history, Keli's distant ancestor had in fact been a barbarian raider who led a tribe and conquered the area now known as Sto Lat.
