She then tells Jamison that Annabella said there were no beasts, which Jamison denies. On the next day, Kira is confronted with the news of Annabella’s death, which causes Kira to become suspicious of Jamison. When visiting Fen, Kira and Thomas learn that Matt has gone off seeking for blue for Kira. At the day of the Gathering, the Singer begins the Ruin Song, and Kira spots Matt crawling on the floor, who says he has two gifts for Kira. The first one is a piece of blue cloth, and the second gift is a blind, scarred man who clutches in his hand her mother’s pendant. He explains that he is Christopher, her father, who had been stabbed by Jamison during a hunt out of envy and had been left to the Field to die. Mercifully, Christopher is rescued by member of a community with disabled but gentle people. At first, Kira planned to follow her father back to the community of disabled people, but then Kira remembers the horrific thing she saw at the Gathering. It was a chain around the Singer’s bleeding ankle, which meant that Kira, Thomas, and Jo were held prisoners for this event and had their parents killed off for this
