Characters investigate the Bozkurt ritual, finding little information as it is a prohibited secret; Garlenos, initially wanting to be Karmeut's knight, is offered a position with a different prince, but refuses. Karmeut reveals he survived a secret attack, awakened a mysterious power, and is now protecting Reinelle, who transforms from a crow.
