The Crystal Throne has not had a true reader of the omens for over three centuries!” Min sat, stunned, until Mat pulled her to her feet. “Is that a good thing?” she whispered to him. “I’ll be bloody in the face if I know,” Mat said back. “But you remember what I said about getting away from her? Well, you can probably forget about that now.”
