=== Chapter 47 ===

 

Sarene returns to Kae and encounters Hrathen, who claims credit for healing her and gloats that she gave Teod and Eventeo to the Derethi, but she doubts that.

 

 

=== Chapter 48 ===

 

Hrathen is frustrated to have to wait for an audience with King Telrii but is eventually summoned to the newly redecorated throne room. Telrii discards any promises previously made to convert to Shu-Dereth, and reveals that he will convert as long as he is raised to the rank of gyorn, so that he doesn't have to suffer because of low rank. Telrii states that he has already sent a messenger with these demands to Wyrn, and dismisses Hrathen.

 

 

=== Chapter 49 ===

 

Raoden and Galladon discuss AonDor, and Galladon comments that perhaps the land has changed, causing Raoden to intuit that the chasm caused the Reod, rather than the other way around as speculated. Raoden draws a modified Ehe Aon, and it works, causing a fireball to incinerate part of the library. They realize that AonDor is still somewhat inhibited, however, since their aons don't produce as powerful effects as the books describe or affect people at all, and they still have not completed their transformations to pre-Reod Elantrians. They speculate that the first working Aon Ehe drained a long-untapped energy reserve.

 

 

=== Chapter 50 ===

 

Sarene gets a report from Ashe that King Telrii is delaying his conversion to Derethi for unknown reasons. Sarene also hears rumors about a law to force conversion of all Arelenes on the pain of incarceration.

 

 

=== Chapter 51 ===

 

Hrathen strolls through the Arelon Market, where many goods remained unsold, and many market stalls empty of customers, threatening financial ruin for the Eastern merchants that went to great cost to bring their products.

 

 

Hrathen sees an arteth in one of the merchant stalls and investigates, and encounters Dilaf, who taunts Hrathen with his failures regarding Telrii, and says that his victory is sweet in the face of the gyorn's failure, but gives no further explanation and leaves.

 

=== Chapter 52 ===

 

Galladon stitches the cut that Raoden got from fencing with Sarene, as they reside in rooms provided by Roial. Kaloo tries to reveal his Spirit identity to Sarene, but is unable to do so privately. Kaloo in his Dula role is able to join noble circles but wants to infiltrate his former cabal as well, where all the important decisions are really made.

 

 

=== Chapter 53 ===

 

Kaloo attends a meeting of Sarene's noble circle, at Kiin's house, to her chagrin. They discuss various options for dealing with Telrii, including foreign aid from Teod and rebels in Duladel. Kaloo suggests turning the nobles and people against the king rather than assassinating him.

 

 

=== Chapter 54 ===

Hrathen receives reports that Roial has been executed for treason without a trial, and rumors that Raoden has returned, though he believes that Sarene is using a look-alike to try to play for the throne.
