Rain-slicked cobblestones echo with frantic footsteps. A young woman, eyes wide with terror, bolts through the shadowed alleys of Tar Valon. Behind her, the heavy tread of Whitecloaks closes in. She stole. In the city of the Aes Sedai, that is a death sentence. The guards draw near, their spears glinting in the dim light, as she flees for her life, unaware of the terrifying fate awaiting her capture.
