Queen Desire was the second wife of King Shrewd and mother of Prince Regal. She was in line to be the Duchess of Farrow until she married the King, due to a law in the Six Duchies that declares when one member of the nobility marries another, the one with a lesser title must give up their land, for one cannot fully steward two duchies.

Towards the end of her life, Desire started to make claims that she would have held more power as the Duchess of Farrow then as the Queen, and that her heritage contained more Farseer blood then that of Constance, Shrewd's previous wife, so her son had a better claim to the throne then Chivalry simply being first-born, though this arguement never had any sway on Shrewd. These claims were often brought on by Desire's use of various drugs such as merrybug and carryme. It was said that as soon as Shrewd persuaded her of one, she took to another.
