Ninive manages to unlock a leash on the street, so they have all tools for the rescue-operation. Even better, turns out the leash works on the sultans too.
Domon is readying his ship to get away.
Rand, Matt, Pering, the hunter, and Redshirt reach to a house Fain uses as HQ. They also see some nazi pet-monster, they were in the pocket-realm with Selene. Whatever. The guards did the basic mistake guarding only the fron door.
OH, yeah, let's mention this book is the first to contain see-though clothes for women. RJ was a perv.
The party finds the stuff. Why is again two artifacts in this story? The party spots Team B, but they are spotted by the senchan, fight ensues. Most of them get away fast, but Rand is doing miniboss-fight. The guy is an expert, but Rand has proper basic ttraining PLUS he has the Force, so things balance out. Rand starts attacking with all remaining strength, the senchean's sword gets stuck in the walls, Rand wins. The senchean minions commit suicide, because the plot says so. Pretty much could be an omage to In the Mouth of Madness, lol.
Redshirt makes Rand realise they have no time to waste here, have to leave the woman behind.
---------------
Team B frees Egwenne. They do some guesswork, and figure out the sultans are who can leanr using magic, but not born to use it inevitably. This is finaly some wolrdbuilding - of a faction we have ZERO connection to, shouldn't be in the book the first place.
RJ tries to find excuses for nazis here? I hope not.
Egwenne does not hink things through, and starts a magical attack. This would fit the personality of Ninive, but she wasn't the one captured. As these are literal nazis we still can justify the event... But thinking it this long, you must realise, all these people are here for what exactly? The guys did not need to get two artifacts, so Matt is entirely needless there. And the women are worse, because here are FOUR women, while 2 could have been enough: Ninive captured, and Min for the rescue, as the leashes turned out to be unlockable without magic. You just needed minnimal talent, and an editor to fix yur mess. This book had neither.
Anyway, the women run to the ship. Domon is even shown enforcing the order to stay, no matter what.
Chaos in the city, the Children starts their attack.
Turns out Redshirt opened the gates way-back at the start of the book. Doesn't actualy matter, and he is not really a traitor, just accepted a bribe, and the chance to live. He now will make a Last Stand to buy time for Team A to get away.
