Harriet read the first scene of the prologue of A Memory of Light , which was from the point of view of Bayrd, a member of Jarid Sarand’s army, whose family had remained loyal to House Sarand for years. The scene told of the army’s suffering as a result of starvation (they had resorted to boiling bits of grass and leather to try to eat) and also due to a bubble of evil which had turned all the metal in the camp soft and pliable. Jarid Sarand, however, was convinced that the hardships the army had been struggling with were the work of Elayne and her Aes Sedai ‘witches’ (Jarid seemed just a little bit looney). Because all the metal weapons were no longer useful, Bayrd resorted to fashioning a spear point from slate to replace a metal one. The scene ended with Bayrd restraining Jarid by tying him to a tree and the remainder of Sarand’s army leaving to head north to fight for Andor in the Last Battle.
The excerpt from the Prologue of A Memory of Light was released a few days later by Tor.
