Chapter Sixty-Nine: A çurious Hand

Solineus, revived by the Lady’s intervention after nearly drowning in the Gediswon River, is rescued by Morik, a Kingdomer who witnessed the Ferminki Bridge’s destruction. The Lady urges Solineus to forge alliances with the Eight Kingdoms and beyond, hinting at his true identity awaiting discovery by Kônu Bay, but he resists leaving Kinesee, Alu, and Lelishen. Pursued by Malstefne crossbowmen, Solineus and Morik escape, joined by Kingdomer reinforcements who rout the Tek. Morik reveals the Malstefne’s incursion into Malobund territory may spark war, benefiting the Silone’s safety. Solineus, recovering in the fortified village of Yurhol, learns Ivin, now Warlord, is betrothed to Kinesee, prompting mixed emotions. Seeking to meet Morik’s king, Sînhôlar, to secure alliances, Solineus wagers that Kinesee will affirm his survival and eventual return, convincing Morik to arrange the meeting if he wins. Five days later, Solineus rides toward Molikîn, confident in Kinesee’s intuition.
