Shallan is the flashback character in this volume. They describe the gradual destruction of her family and reveal the details of the murders of her two murderous and/or abusive parents.
The Interludes introduce [[Lift]] and follow [[Eshonai]] as she, at first, reluctantly changes to stormform and then stages a coup, taking complete control of the Parshendi.
'''Prologue: To Question'''
Dalinar continues to try to unite the [[Highprince]]s by asserting his authority as the Highprince of War. He has an illusion during a [[Highstorm]] in which he participates with a [[Knight Radiant]]'s crew in a fight against a [[Thunderclast]].
'''Part Two: Winds' Approach'''
Shallan encounters [[Tyn]]'s caravan and joins with them to defend against bandits, also winning the support of a group of deserters that had been chasing them. Tyn figures that Shallan couldn't possibly be who she says she is, so she takes her on as an apprentice con artist. When she finds out via spanreed that she really is Shallan, she tries to kill her, but Shallan summons her [[Shardblade]] in time, killing her first.
[[Adolin]] fights a couple of duels as part of his father's plan to bring the Highprinces together as Renarin starts training with his plate with [[Zahel]]. [[Sadeas]] continues to work against Dalinar, consolidating power and going out on gemstone raids when it's not his turn.
[[Szeth]] returns to kill Dalinar, but Kalidar manages to fight him off. He tells Szeth that his is a [[Windrunner]] just like him. He flees in confusion and anger.
