Serena finds she cannot stay away from Rand and returns to
the beach in the morning, only to discover he's gone.
Saddened by the thought that the man was washed back to
sea, her feelings change when Rand returns and follows her
back to her home, sure the women have taken the piece of
the chalice he carried with him.
Denying knowledge of what happened to the chalice, Selena
and her mother, Calandra, tend Rand's wounds, eager to have
him gone from their secluded home and back on his journey.
While searching the woods near the cottage, Rand finds
evidence of poachers. When Selena takes him to the nearby
town of Egremont, tales of shape-shifters are being told,
and Rand knows his nemesis, Silas de Mortaine, is near.
Determined to protect Selena, Rand makes a deal with the
holder of his missing piece of chalice and begins the final
part of his quest.
