This episode RoShawn and I are covering the chapters in which Tarisai meets Sanjeet, the Prince's Bear, and we get a time jump ahead a couple years. Tarisai is still turning down Dayo's invitation to join his council, much to the chagrin of the other Swana candidates, and we find out that Am The Storyteller has never chosen a female Raybearer.
