After the battle ended, a confrontation with Seraphine at the burned-down village teaches Kun that, while his parents and brother died, his sister is still alive and in the hands of the Shrikes.

Meanwhile, the Shrikes are having a party to celebrate the good profits of that day's slave-sale. However, Seraphine finds out that Hahn is up to no good with the remaining slave girls, and gets into a fight with him, during which he informed her that her father has accepted his offer to marry her.

Meanwhile, Lostris is training her agility under Taita's watchful eye when she is summoned to attend an emergency meeting called by Vizier Lord Naja. His sources had alerted him of Lostris's run-in with Tanus by the rived, and uses that information to persuade the Council to strip Lostris of her privileges to walk around freely, restricting her to constant supervision of two soldiers.
