When he discovers the tales are true, and, that he is part of some larger idea plan, William also finds an enticing young woman who seems to be at the center of it all. Brienne of Yester knows who her true father is and so do the villagers around her. She knows she is different in other ways and when her powers soar and she can create and control fire, Brienne learns the truth of her father's nature. And his plan to release their ancestor, the goddess of fire and chaos.
