They arrive at the capital and Rin is given a place as a waiting woman to Queen Anidori. When they leave Rin goes with them, hoping that going out into the world will change her as it changed Razo. Soon after Wilem, Razo and his girl Dasha return from Bayern's capital to visit the homestead. She thinks that they have rejected her for what happened with Wilem. After this, she discovers that the trees don’t give her peace anymore. After that day the wrongness begins to eat at her again, and she buries and distorts the memory of her time with Wilem. However, when she is fifteen, she breaks all her rules with a boy named Wilem, who calls her wild. She doesn’t demand things or speak much at all. To prevent this she begins to mirror her mother and her favourite brother Razo. She returns home but continues to be afraid that if she speaks to people as she did to her niece, she will lose Ma's love. At this point she discovers that she can ‘open’ herself to the trees in a way and absorb their peace. Rin, upset and confused, runs into the deeper Forest and hugs a tree as she would have hugged her ma, begging for forgiveness. However, when her ma returns and finds that Rin has upset the niece, she scolds Rin and turns away. At the beginning of the book, Rin feels wrong in herself when she was younger she ordered her niece around and it made her feel good, big and powerful. The book centres around Rinna (Rin), Razo's fifteen-year-old sister who still lives in the Forest with their large family (known as Agget-kin).
