~~Kinesee and Alu hide in a chicken coop from Taken kin—Papa (Iku), Oleu, Dom, Medlin~~, and ~~Ito—eating scavenged food as their settlement lies in ruins. Alu kills Dom with a spear when he finds them~~, ~~sparking a desperate run to~~ a ~~dory, where Medlin and Ito drag it back until Solineus arrives, beheading Ito and freeing the boat~~. ~~Using~~ the ~~Twins~~, ~~he slays Oleu and Iku in their burning home, dispersing their Shadows~~ with ~~steel and fire~~, ~~then rows the girls to safety~~, ~~joined~~ by ~~Tengkur. After burning the Taken~~, ~~he shares tales of~~ the ~~Steaming Lakes to ease their grief~~, ~~linking up with~~ a ~~fishing boat bound for Herald’s Watch~~, ~~fulfilling his promise~~ to ~~Iku to save his daughters and free his soul~~, ~~though guilt lingers~~ for ~~those he couldn’t save~~.

Meliu searches Skywatch’s library for Tomarok without success, learning of Eredin’s arrival and the failed efforts against the Shadows’ ice bridge, prompting a Choerkin-ordered evacuation. With Deelee settled as “Urchin the Pious,” Meliu secures passage on the Entiyu Emoño with Intœño, who knows only of Tomlok, but is ambushed by Fedal, wielding Ulrikt’s seal, and coerced onto the Fair Wind. There, High Priestess Sedut—posing as Shae Turvil—reveals Adelin’s death and drugs Meliu after a tense exchange, trapping her as the ship prepares to sail, leaving Meliu’s quest for Tomarok and her fate in Sedut’s hands amidst Herald’s Watch’s orderly retreat from the encroaching Shadows.
