Chapters 10 - 19: A Hunt and Its Conclusion

So, things are heating up! No surprise, but the party of main characters that split once (at the beginning of The Great Hunt) is split further, and reunited again in a small number of chapters. Not to put too fine a head on it, but this pattern of diverging story lines will be something of a central story mechanism, to say the least. This time, however, the party split once at the beginning of the novel, and then again at Chapter 13: From Stone to Stone, with the second separation mended in just a few chapters. During this time, a new character arrives, insinuating into the confidences of some.

The Age of Legends is long past, but that doesn't stop people from meddling with things that should be left alone -- see Chapter 16: In the Mirror of Darkness, if you're intrigued with fumbling experimentation that could end badly. Also, Chapter 18: To the White Tower for an awesome grudge match.

...Still no sign of my copy of The Dragon Reborn. I'm on the trail, though.
