Crown of Midnight Summary

And let's just jump right in.

We got a lot to cover.

So let's go.

So we start off with part one, the king's champion.

So we are following the king's champion through this manor in Belhaven.

And we find out this belongs to Lord Nerol.

And she's sneaking into his bedroom where she sees him and his wife asleep.

And she pulls out her sword and his eyes fly open.

That is where we're left with that.

We then have Selina going to see the king, and Dorian is with the king.

Kael is guarding them, duh.

And she's showing proof to the king that she killed Lord Nerol and his wife.

So she provides a severed head and then a hand with...

Lord Noral's seal ring on it and for his wife a hand with their wedding band on it.

So the king gives her a new assignment and she needs to take down the rebel movement that is happening in Rifthold and he only gives her one name at a time.

The first name on that list is going to be Archer Finn which is someone that she knows from her past.

Then we have Dorian's point of view.

After all of this, he's thinking about how Selina doesn't seem like herself.

And he starts to wonder if he ever meant anything to her because she's showing the king this much colder, the assassin, like she's showing this colder side of herself.

And Dorian's like, did I ever mean anything to her? Or was this all just to get what she wanted? He thinks if she could kill people, then manipulating people shouldn't have been that hard.

We then have Kael following Selina down to the sewers where she disposes of these body parts.

And he wants details on her mission.

He's ready for the debrief.

And he heard rumors that they caught Lord Norrell's killer and he thought they meant her.

So he was getting ready to go find her.
