Feyre prepares to the cross the wall into the mortal realm while Mor describes her own traumatic youth: born with tremendous power, Mor fears being trapped in a loveless or abusive marriage. When she menstruated for the first time, her full power was unleashed and the powerful families in her community coveted her for breeding purposes. She escaped forced breeding with the help of Rhys and Cassian.
Rhys, Cassian, Azriel, and Feyre winnow to a small breach in the wall’s magic which allows passage to the mortal realm. Azriel flies Feyre through the breach and land on bare, windy cliffs that stretch out into snow-dusted forests—Feyre’s homeland.
Feyre rings the bell at her family’s estate while the others remain hidden. A housekeeper is suspicious of Feyre, but Feyre’s middle sister Elain appears and sobs with joy, having assumed Feyre was dead. Nesta, Feyre’s oldest sister, orders tea service in the drawing room.
Over tea, Feyre reveals her High Fae appearance to her sisters. She tells them about Amarantha, her death and resurrection, and of the plan to acquire both halves of the Book of Breathings. She asks to use the family estate as a meeting with the mortal queens, but Nesta refuses.
