Point of view: Nynaeve al’Meara
Nynaeve ducks into an alley with Uno and Ragan, hoping to avoid Galad who was monitoring her. Galad finds her though and faces down Uno and Ragan. Nynaeve agrees to enable him approach so they can talk. As she asks questions he mentions Salidar and Nynaeve suddenly remembers that that is the identify of the village where the Rebel Aes Sedai are gathering. Galad bids to find a ship for her even though she didn’t ask. Nynaeve finally decides to trust Galad will not betray them to the Whitecloaks (but only because they are not currently in Amadicia, where channelers are outlawed).

Below you will find chapter-by-chapter recaps and reactions to Robert Jordan’s fantasy fiction series, The Wheel of Time. There are no spoilers beyond the current chapter in any of my posts.

You might have to agonize that by reading my recaps I will connect dots for you that you would not have connected as quickly on your own.
In addition to all of that, my chapter recaps sometimes also include some other information about the characters from outside the novels. (i.e. ________’s name is a reference to Arthurian legend; ______ is a reference to a notable giant from the Bible; _______ is a reference to Greek mythology; etc.)
I will also add a little bit of communication about the Amazon Prime TV series within these recaps. If
