Chapter 28 Summary
Vivenna meets with Thame, discussing the Idrian's in Hallandren while she reflects on her situation in relation to theirs. Thame tells her that he's organized for her to meet with the Idrian's in three days. After Thame leaves, Denth notes that Vivenna is starting to fit in. The pair, along with Jewels, Parlin, and Clod, leave the restaurant to meet some forgers. Vivenna commissions them to create documents to show the Hallandren priests as corrupt, extorting the Indrian King for years, as well as to show that the Idrians do not want to go to war. After the deal is done, they head off to meet some thieves they'd hired earlier. Vivenna thinks she should send Parlin back to Idris. Denth teases her about being attracted to Parlin, which Vivenna denies.

Chapter 29 Summary
Susebron asks Siri to hell him about the mountains. She dismisses them as boring as compared to Hallandren, to which Susebron points out all he is confined to the palace, and pampered, winning the argument. Siri starts to tell him about the mountains, but gets sidetracked when she mentions Austre. When Susebron asks about it, she goes on to try and explain her religion, and the existence of other religions full stop, to the God King. After the conversation returns to the mountains, Susebron begins to flatter Siri. He then comments he wished he could let Siri go home so she could see the mountains again, suggesting he could ask the priests. Siri warns that that could be dangerous, as the priests could find out that he's been talking to her. Susebron doesn't agree that his priests are planning to kill him. They briefly discuss how the God King passes on his Breath. Susebron then comments it makes him sad that his wife doesn't believe in his divinity.
Vivenna views 4 dead bodies, belonging to thieves that had worked for Denth previously. They bear wounds with a dark black tinge, the result of Vasher's sword. Denth explains that this is why they were so worried about Vasher. They decide they're going to have to find a way of dealing with Vasher's sword. Tonk Fah suggests stealing it, but Denth instead plans to have Vasher draw it and kill Vasher after it has weakened him. Vivenna realizes she is being watched by someone with a lot of breath.
Vasher watches Denth and his party. Nightblood wants to go talk to VaraTreledees (the name by which he knows Denth), as well as wanting to meet [[Shashara]]. Vasher reminds Nighblood that they killed Shashara, along with Arsteel, a long time ago. Vasher worries about the rumors spreading about him, knowing that later he's still going to have to deal with Denth and those with him.

Blushweaver finds Lightsong trying his hand at being a potter. He quickly discovers that he has no idea how to make pottery. He then grabs five lemons and attempts to juggle them, this time successfully. He asks Blushweaver to grab a guava and throw it to him. She complies, and Lightsong smoothly grabs it and adds it to the fruit he's juggling. Blushweaver wonders if he has lost his mind. Lightsong explains that he's been trying to work out what he did in his past life, having found out that he knows a lot of sailing terms, he's fantastic at mathematics, and has a good eye for sketching. He's also found out he knows nothing about the dyeing industry, horses, and gardening, has no talent for sculpting, and has just found out he's terrible at pottery. They talk while walking to [[Hopefinder]]'s place. They discuss current events with the rumours of the Idrian agents causing a ruckus and a second princess being in the city. While Blushweaver and Hopefinder talk, Lightsong considers the appearance of the gods, how it seemed that a Returned's appearence seemed to reflect how they saw themselves. Blushweaver finally gets to her point. She wants the commands for Hopefinder's Lifeless. He says he'll give them to her if she gives him her vote in social matters. In a move that surprises all present, she agrees to the terms. As Hopefinder prepares to give Blushweaver the codes, Lightsong sees a vision of a prison. Hopefinder tells them the command. As Lightsong and Blushweaver leave, she reveals that Mercystar had also given Blushweaver her Commands, partly due to Lightsong's investigative work. Lightsong wonders if he was a sheriff or an investigator, but can't work out how juggling lemons fits into the picture.

== Chapter 31 ==
Denth doesn't want to go through with actually meeting the Indrians in the slums, but Vivenna insists. She comments that she worries for her people being surrounded by the gangs and prostitues of the slums. Denth tells her that those are in fact Idrians, along with everyone else in the slums. Vivenna refuses to believe but then starts to see symbols of Austre, and mementos of the highlands. They meet with Thame. Vivenna decides to address the people before meeting with the other leaders. It doesn't go as planned - the people don't want to return to the mountains - they just want to see the Hallandren's suffer. Vivenna goes to meet the other leaders. Before long she decides she wants to walk out. Before she can, they are interuppted by a Lifeless raid, coming right for them. Vivenna runs, but is attacked by three lifeless.
