Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 11 Summary: “The Road to Taren Ferry”

The Draghkar pursue the group, who gallops through the night. The group finally gains distance when becoming enveloped in unnaturally thick fog. They reach the river crossing. Lan rouses the ferryman and bribes him to take them over right away despite the fog.

Chapter 12 Summary: “Across the Taren”

The ferryman and his men agree to take the group over to the other side for a sizable sum. Just as they are disembarking, the ferry sinks. Rand and the others suspect that Moiraine has sunk the ferry to further slowdown their pursuers. They feel uneasy about her ruthlessness.

The group is exhausted. Lan leads them to a cave he scouted and prepared on the way to Emond’s Field. Moiraine takes Egwene to the side and reveals that the young woman has natural talent for channeling the True Power. Egwene is jubilant at the prospect of becoming an Aes Sedai, while Rand feels uneasy.

Chapter 13 Summary: “Choices”

After a night’s rest, the group continues their journey to the nearest town, Braelon. Moiraine and Lan are known to the locals under assumed names, as there is ill will toward the Aes Sedai. While talking to the guard, they learn that a group, known as the Children of Light, has arrived in town.
