After a fishing trip with her father a young girl, named Siuan Sanche and whose control of the One Power is getting stronger and stronger each day, must leave for Tar Valon after the destruction of her home. Many years later the once young girl is now the Amyrlin Seat, who presides over the White Tower and the stronghold of the Aes Sedai.
Before her are the Aes Sedai Liandrin, Alana and Moiraine and they must answer for their preemptive actions against the False Dragon and denying the Amyrlin Seat its judgment. It is Moiraine who must face the consequences of their actions and receive the punishment of the Amyrlin Seat. As Moiraine awaits her fate, her spy network has informed her of Rand and Mat’s whereabouts.
As Mat’s condition detriorates, Rand is concerned at the arrival of Moiraine and Lan to the Inn believing that she will Gentle Mat. But Moiraine saves him, extracting the darkness from within him that he picked up from Shadar Logoth, locking it away in the ruby hilted dagger.
That evening as the Amyrlin Seat decides on Moiraine’s punishment, she is visited by Moiraine and the two friends and lovers decide together on the punishment that Moiraine will receive - banishment. The following day, with Egwene and Perrin safely at Tar Valon, Moiraine introduces Egwene and NyNaeve to the most powerful woman in the world Siuan Sanche who reveals their importance to destroying the still weakened Dark One at the Eye of the World.
At the White Tower the Amyrlin Seat issues its judgment on Moiraine. Banished from Tar Valon, Moiraine meets up with Lan, the Two River companions, and Loial at a gate to the Ways, an ancient path outside of space and time. Their destination is to the Eye of the World where Moiraine hopes to stop the Dark One with the help of her companions, but as the gate to the Ways begins to close behind them, one of the companions has chosen to remain behind.
