Her mother, an aunt, and two cousins were the only other born-Mackenzie women. The whole extended family lived in a cluster up on a ridge above the village, and, being the youngest and smallest, she was often overlooked. However, this worked more in Kestrel’s favor, than against her.

After the death of his father, Federick took over the role for the next generation of the house. When the fights of the crusades took over the land, Federick defended his home as best he could. Lord Jeffery amid the fighting took refuge in what he thought was the abandoned home of Federick. Federick seeing Lord Jeffery exhausted and hungry fed him and allowed him to stay in the safety of the home. In return, Lord Jeffery allowed Federick to join him to help feed his now growing army. When the visiting knight, Sir Ronan, saw Federick messing around with the swords one evening, he saw the potential of a fighter and took Federick under his wing as a squire.

Put out of work, Radin wandered through the Timurid Empire eventually finding himself at an inn near Samarqand. When he was recognized as part of the Golden Horde, a patron began to insult him, which he tolerated, until he said some rather unpleasant things about his mother. In his outrage, Radin threw the man outside, and found himself in a fistfight, until Altan, who happened to be walking by, stopped him and offered him employment in Timur’s army under his command. Agreeing to this, Radin began learning the fighting arts of the Persians, squiring under Altan.
