;Plot Summary
 
Jasnah is going into war, thinking of how inadequate the descriptions and depictions of war hashave been in her studies. She is wearing her Shardplate, dulled so as to not reveal who she is. She at first is determined to confront the enemy without using her powers so that she can fully understand the feeling of war. She fights with a Fused capable of growing carapace vines over her and decides to use her powers after all, Soulcasting the air to oil and slamming steel and flint together and lighting everyone near her on fire. She loses herself in the battle, and eventually an Edgedancer medic convinces her to rest. Wit brings her fruit, and they discuss her experience and what she is trying to prove to herself and others. They discuss the future of battle, and she returns to war.
 
When the battle is over, Jasnah arrives at her tent and speaks with the Mink, who assures her she made the right decision, that they won the day. He also tells her that something has disturbed Wit, and she finds him in her tent writing. He tells her that one of the Sleepless was disguised in his things, and that their secrets have been compromised.
