=== Chapter 17 ===
Sarene begins to teach fencing to Queen Eshen's embroidery group. Sarene duels with Lord Eondel who is very skilled but allows Sarene to win as a gracious gesture. Lord Shuden performs a [[ChayShan]] exercise which impresses the group though he claims to only be an amateur.
Sarene goes to a Korathi chapel to learn from Father Omin about what a Widow's Trial entails. They talk about the Elantrians and about how Hrathen may be intentionally preaching hatred of them for some reason. Sarene learns of her inheritance of Raoden's estate.
Ashe tells Sarene of Hrathen's frequent patrols of the Elantrian city wall, and Sarene ponders how to thwart the gyorn's unknown intentions. Sarene contacts her father Eventeo and they discuss how grim affairs are becoming in both Teod and Arelon, but Sarene refuses to return to Teod so that she can serve a useful purpose. Eventeo states that if Arelon falls that he would surrender to the Fjorden rather than be conquered. Eventeo reveals that Iadon's merchant ships are being sunk at the behest of the Wyrn, reducing his net worth and threatening his grip on the throne. Sarene realizes this would make it easier to replace the king, and reluctantly decides to take his side in opposition to Hrathen. After their conversation, Sarene feels anxious and has a hard time falling asleep, and is awake to hear some odd noises coming from the walls around her chambers.
