Chapter 3: Guilt Is a Luxury
Savine dan Glokta tours her investments in the mill towns of Valbeck and observes the conditions her money depends on without visible discomfort. The opening of the industrial argument the trilogy will make.
POV: Rikke

Chapter 4: Keeping Score
Rikke, from the North, experiences the Long Eye for the first time in a way that is both physically devastating and narratively important. Her visions are never comfortable and never clear.
POV: Rikke

Chapter 6: The Breakers
Savine meets Leo dan Brock at court. The dynamic between them is established immediately: two people who are very good at what they do, attracted to each other partly because of it and partly despite it.
POV: Rikke

Chapter 7: The Answer to Your Tears
Broad, a veteran working in the mills, is introduced through a moment of violence that shows who he was before and who he is trying not to be. The working-class perspective the trilogy needs and mostly delivers.
POV: Rikke

Chapter 8: Young Heroes
The Breakers, a workers' movement organising in the mill towns, begin to move toward open confrontation. Orso, the Crown Prince, observes the political situation from a position of intelligent helplessness.
POV: Leo dan Brock

Chapter 9: The Moment
Savine's position in Valbeck when the uprising begins. Her chapters during the rebellion are among the sharpest in the book: a person who built her fortune on the conditions being protested, now inside the consequences.

Chapter 10: Break What They Love
The rebellion in Valbeck reaches its peak. Broad fights through it with the same controlled violence he has been suppressing since the war. Savine watches from closer than she would like.

Chapter 11: It Was Bad
Leo leads the military response to Valbeck. He is good at this and he knows it. The suppression of the rebellion is efficient and the chapter does not look away from what efficiency means here.

Chapter 13: Fencing with Father
Sand dan Glokta's return as a POV character: older, powerful in a different register, still conducting the same essential business under different titles. The reunion with his daughter is the most uncomfortable scene of his arc so far.

Chapter 15: Promises
Orso's political education accelerates. He is smarter than he presents and more constrained than his position suggests. The chapter establishes the central tension of his arc: knowing what should be done and being unable to do it.

Chapter 16: A Blow for the Common Man
The political fallout from Valbeck settles into new configurations. The Breakers have been suppressed but their causes have not been addressed, and everyone with clear eyes can see what comes next.
POV: Leo dan Brock

Chapter 17: Knowing the Arrow
Rikke's Long Eye shows her something about the future of the North that she does not want to see. Her chapters are the closest the Age of Madness gets to the mythology of the original trilogy.
