Gawyn POV#

The cloud cover over Caemlyn broke when Rand was at Dragonmount and the Rose March is in bloom. Gawyn and Elayne walk through the garden where they met Rand. Galad chided him when he fell into the pond here. Birgitte leads the guard.

Gawyn toys with the assassin's knife he found when a woman gasps. Dimana, one of the Kin, leads several other women, one named Marille was a former damane. Marille says the knife is a Bloodknife carried by the elite Seanchan assassin Bloodknives. Gawyn demands to talk to any Seanchan officers to learn more. They bring Kaisea, a sul'dam of the Low Blood. Kaisea tells him Bloodknives wear ter'angreal rings that blur them into shadow but slowly kill them. Gawyn is debating what to do when a servant brings a letter from Tar Valon. It is a letter from Egwene demanding that he return. Instead, he sends back a message about the Bloodknives.[2]
