We rejoin the Mother of Dragons as she chooses to traverse the barren Red Waste, to avoid her many enemies. The going is arduous and her Khalasar is diminished still further. Outriders find the city of Qarth, emissaries of which are very keen to meet the dragons. Ser Jorah, Mackelly, and Simon all reckon she needs to tread carefully.

Chapter Review:
Daenerys Targaryen considers her options. All directions are bad. Her Khalasar is miniscule and mostly comprises those unable to fight. Her dragons are suckling babes unable to defend themselves. Her enemies abound. The comet seems to point south east - so that way they go into the desert known as the Red Waste.

Things go badly and many people (including Doreah) and horses die before they discover an abandoned city with fruit trees and wells. They rest there. Ser Jorah tells his queen of his former life as Lord of Bear Island. How he fell in love with Lynesse Hightower and married her. But her need for finer things bankrupted Jorah leading to a life of crime, and ultimately to his self-imposed banishment to Essos. He tells the Khaleesi that she looks like Lynesse.

Dany sends her three bloodriders on as scouts, in different directions. The first two return empty-handed, but Jhogo comes back with three dignitaries from the city of Qarth. They would welcome the Khalasar and the dragons to their home.
