Quick recap

In 978 NE, as the Aiel War ends, the Aes Sedai Gitara Moroso Foretells that the Dragon has just been reborn on the slopes of Dragonmount. The Accepted Moiraine and Siuan hear it all. The Amyrlin Tamra sends sisters to find the baby, but they die one by one, and Tamra herself turns up dead. The two friends suspect the Black Ajah. Now Aes Sedai, Moiraine travels to Chachin and crosses paths with Lan, the uncrowned king of Malkier, who is trying to stop a plan to revive his country. There she exposes the Aes Sedai Merean as a Darkfriend, but can't prevent more deaths. In the end, Moiraine bonds Lan as her Warder.
