EoS Chapter 54

Chapter Fifty-Four: Tower in a Tower

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.
