Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Chaol and Dorian stand on a balcony watching the workers dismantle the carnival. Chaol asks the prince how Celaena is doing, and Dorian says she’s coping. Dorian asks if Chaol will return home with his father, but he says he is not interested in becoming Lord Anielle. Their conversation turns back to Celaena, and Chaol says Dorian should find a way to get her out of her contract with the king, but Dorian warns him to remember where his loyalties lie.
Celaena lies on the floor of Baba Yellowlegs’s wagon, head pounding from Baba’s heavy chains. She has lost all her weapons. When the witch approaches, Celaena headbutts her, takes a dirt-coated axe from the wall, and smashes it through the mirrors. Baba gets the chain around Celaena’s ankle, causing her to fall. They fight on the ground; Celaena grabs the axe and hits Baba with its broadside, knocking her away. Baba charges again, but Celaena cuts off her head, which sprays blue blood. She puts the witch’s body in the wagon’s fire.
