Chapter 54: Into the Palace

While Domon’s men start a rumor that Amathera has been murdered, Elayne, Nynaeve, and Egeanin sneak into the palace disguised as peasants and then switch to servants. The rumors start a riot that distracts the guards, and they get to Amathera’s room where Elayne easily knocks out Temaile. Amathera beats her up a bit before agreeing to come with them.

Nynaeve finds the collar, but Moghedien is right behind her and they have a magic standoff. Some exposition is slipped in as Moghedien tries to distract her, saying that the control goes both ways with this collar, but Nynaeve beats her at her own game by just throwing it at her, and makes an air shield around her. But this leaves her weakened when Jeaine Cain attacks with the balefire rod, and she barely survives while Moghedien escapes.

I didn’t note any Crowning Moment Of Awesome here, but that’s just because in this chapter, you can just assume one is happening at any given moment. The standout one has to go to Nynaeve, but everyone’s at the top of their game here, making me very excited where they could go in the next book.
