Hallens commanded the escort of twenty Dancers that brought Chulalorn's emissary, Jerruth, to Li Heng to negotiate with the Protectress Shalmanat.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 1, UK PB p.76-82
On initiation of hostilities between Li Heng and Itko Kan, the Sword Dancers were confined within certain quarters and that was where they stayed, under a quasi-siege situation. Hallens regularly took reports from the Nightblades about the well-being of the king of which they were responsible.
Word reached Hallens of the Kanese push to take Li Heng, and that night the Sword Dancers broke out of their self imposed siege, attacking the outer walls, which the Kanese took due to the absence of the mages. During the chaos, a fletched arrow hit her, killing her at once.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 15
