A Thai novel[edit]

Hello all, I'm looking for a Thai fantasy novel in which a character is named *Saiverria. I have no knowledge of Thai language and can't find anything relevant with this English spelling, but I know there are many ways to transliterate Thai. Do anyone have clues? Thank you!

[1]? From web search on "Saiverria Somtow" since S. P. Somtow is the only Thai fantasy/sf writer whose name I know. 73.93.155.156 (talk) 19:34, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds quite unlikely to me, as the "self-made novel" from which it's said to be taken, doesn't return any result either on the web, so I don't think anyone else had ever read it. It looks to me more like this amateur writer named his character from an already existing one? Daiima (talk) 11:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is this it? --Sodacan (talk) 04:51, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
