A Clash of Kings Chapter 28 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Daenerys II

  • Dany enters Qarth, a city rich thanks to its ports and vast trade, and her benefactors proclaim how totally fab the city is.
  • Pyat Pree invites Dany to the House of the Undying, and Xaro promises Dany riches and presents aplenty—Dany desires ships to help her across the Narrow Sea and to Westeros.
  • Dany and her people take up residence in Xaro's manse. She sends Jorah and her bloodriders out into the city to get the down-and-dirty on Qarth.
  • Jorah returns with Quhuru Mo, captain of the Cinnamon Wind, who informs Dany that Robert Baratheon is dead and that civil war has come to the Seven Kingdoms.
  • Jorah advises Dany to be prudent and not let the news of Robert's death make her careless; he reminds her that even dragons can die.
  • She counters that so can dragonslayers.
