- Melete learns of Antigone Shephard’s plot to start a war. She confronts Antigone, is captured, and imprisoned for decades. Antigone begins to wipe out the descendants of Augustine. Young Bhatair runs for his life, discovering Gallitan and the West in the process. Eventually, Bhatair learns that his father is still alive.

-
Bhatair Hollingsworth delights in deriding Joshua Shephard for having only daughters when Bhatair has a son and heir.

- When Raritan and Gallitan are on the verge of war, Velvare shows up and negotiates peace between the nations, instantly becoming an icon and a hero to the people. King Daniel Leto of Gallitan is then assassinated and his son, Avidan Leto, is born the day he dies. Between childbirth complications and grief for her husband, Queen Leto passes away. Some of the people of Gallitan want Velvare to be crowned king, others insist that Prince Avidan should rule when he is old enough. Velvare adopts Prince Avidan and becomes the steward of Gallitan, which satisfies both parties.
-
Joshua finally has a son, Apen, who is almost two years old in this scene. Bhatair taunts the toddler in a real classy way, but he underestimates the uncanny cognitive development of descendants of Syllor. Apen confounds Bhatair by reciting his bloodline all the way from Augustine and Sienna to Bhatair himself. Joshua spikes the Bhatair smack-down with a low blow about Bhatair’s now disabled son, Bhatair retaliates with a low blow about Joshua’s dead wife, Isis. They hate each other more than ever.
- Bhatair gets some bad news and reacts to it in a drastic way, by kidnapping tiny baby Enel from under sleeping Gudrun’s nose. Bhatair hands the baby over to Melete who teleports to one of the gates bordoring the Deadlands. Melete carries tiny baby Enel into the wilderness. Gudrun is very sad about this.
-
In the evening of that same day, Joshua gives Apen a pep talk about how Shephards should be extra nice to Hollingsworths. Then Joshua promptly sends Apen away so he can flirt with a distraught Gudrun. Apen goes outside to find an upset Bhatair. Bhatair tells Apen he’s just made the worst decision in his life. Newly inspired by his father’s pep talk, Apen tries to cheer up the crushed Bhatair. In return Bhatair tells Apen he’ll be a great king someday. For the first time, a Shephard and a Hollingsworth conclude a conversation with kindness and respect.

After Noah rejects her gift of Pigeondove, she berates him for attempting to murder comatose Velvare. Velvare is now awake from his coma. He hugs Enel, BUT NOT AVIDAN. WHAT A JERK. After Velvare recovers from his wounds, he donates a new building to Mrs. St. Claire’s orphanage. He says it is because Enel saved his life.
-
After months in the Deadlands, Apen reaches the border of Gallitan on the verge of death. He is saved by Berlyne and the Alvarado family. The weavers that would not attack Apen do not attack the Alvarados when they are near him. The Alvarados nurse him back to the land of the living. They grow attached to him and begin to think of him as part of the family. Apen doesn’t return the sentiment, too full of sorrow to want to live. The Alvarados take Apen to a library and that’s the last straw. Apen attempts to jump to his death off of the capital bridge. Joe catches him. Berlyne doesn’t leave Apen’s side after that, she keeps watch to make sure he doesn’t try to kill himself again. Apen loses her and runs off to a dock on the river to be alone. He accidently drops a knife on The Silver Eye, making a distinct sound of gleipnir that royal Shephard horses are trained to come to. His horse dashes to him and Apen rejoices in the reunion for a moment before he encounters the rider: Bhatair Hollingsworth. The last time Apen saw Bhatair was at the Amphitheatre where he was killed. Bhatair says that Melete saved him. He sees that Apen is in trouble and tries to comfort him. Velvare welcomes Apen to Gallitan, but gives him one rule: He must not enter the capital city limits. To replace Apen’s lost horse, Joe gets him a puppy. He names her Melly.
