== Notes ==
* There are issues with some dates stated in the novel. This is attributed to the very small editing time.
** One of the discrepancies was in how Cailan is stated to be 9 years old, with Rowan being gone for 2 years in the initial printed version of the novel while in the digital version, Cailain is stated to be 5 and Rowan has been gone for 2 years. According to the author, the correct version is that Cailan is 5 years old, with Rowan having been gone for 2 years. 
* According to Levi Dryden, he, along with other Warden sympathizers, assisted Genevieve and her Orlesian Wardens in their attempt to seek audience from King Maric.
