Most readers barely remember her name, but Jarna Malari’s actions changed the course of the Wheel of Time forever. A Gray Ajah Sitter and secret Black Ajah sister, Jarna stood at the very heart of Tower politics — and used her position to serve the Shadow.

In this episode, we explore:

• Who Jarna Malari was and why her rank mattered

• Her role in the assassination of Amyrlin Seat Tamra Ospenya

• How her actions crippled the Tower’s search for the Dragon Reborn

• The irony of her downfall at the hands of Ishamael, who saw her recklessness as a threat

• What her brief but impactful story says about the Shadow’s control of the White Tower

Though she died in 983 NE, years before the Last Battle, Jarna Malari’s choices shaped the path of the Dragon Reborn and revealed just how deeply the Black Ajah had infiltrated the Tower.
