{{anchor|Chapter 43}}
Navani and her scribes follow instructions from the Sibling, infusing a gemstone found in the wall at an intersection. They use tips from the Thaylen artefabrians to make it go quicker, and once complete, it opens a hidden door that reveals a chamber with a large, uninfused sapphire.
Kaladin continues his work, and Syl indicates he wants she wants him to follow her. She leads him to Rlain who has realized that he cannot stay in hiding. He intends to join the invaders as a spy, and they depart. Syl has a moment where she is depressed at the thought of being left by everyone, and upon Kaladin noticing it, snaps out of it.
Navani and her scholars work to infuse the sapphire, and she speaks with the Sibling who tells them that they have to move quickly and that Teofil is doomed. Navani asks how they are bringing in troops, and the Sibling tells her that there is a human with an Honorblade operating the Oathgates, and Navani realizes it is Moash. The Sibling says that something has happened.
Venli and Raboniel are with the troops fighting Teofil, and Venli is impressed at how well the humans have fought them off. Then the Pursuer appears, killing many humans and changing the tide of the battle.
The Sibling tells Navani that the men have fallen, and that Raboniel will return to kill her. At that moment, the sapphire finishes being infused. The Sibling says that they are safe. though they tell them that they have to destroy the gemstone in order to keep it from being reversed.
Raboniel touches the pillar, and she realizes that there is stormlight in the system. Since the Sibling is a child of Honor and Cultivation, it should run on its own light, not stormlight. A blue light comes off of the pillar and forms a shield, blocking them from the pillar. Raboniel is amazed, and Ulim, the first voidspren that Venli ever met, appears, saying that they have found Navani. Raboniel tells him that they are to take her captive and that Raboniel wants to meet her.
Navani makes her way through the corpses of the soldiers who had fought and died to give them the time they needed to protect the tower. They bring her to Raboniel, and Navani surrenders. The people in the tower will be allowed to continue living and working, but the unconscious Radiants are to be delivered to the Fused. Raboniel asks Navani about her sketches and praises her remarkable engineering ability. Raboniel offers to hire her to work on fabrial projects, and Navani considers this, as this would give her the ability to keep an eye on what she is doing.
