House Balitang was exiled from the capital by the paranoid regents of the Copper Isles. Mequen is third in line for the throne, which worried them. In addition his two oldest daughters are descended from the raka royalty that was disposed by the lurain invaders. Their half sibling Elsren is fourth in line in the lurain ascension. At Tanair Castle, the development of the rebellion to put Sarai on the throne matures. Were the fears founded? Will Sarai (or Dove) become queen? #tortall #tamorapierce
