At the beginning of The Fires of Heaven, Leane has fled from the White Tower with Siuan Sanche, Min, and Logain Ablar before running afoul of farmers in Gareth Bryne's fief in Andor. Leane begins to practice the ways of enticing men she learned as a girl in Arad Doman. Siuan makes them all swear to serve Bryne in penance, but Logain frees them and they continue on their way. At the beginning of Knife of Dreams, Leane has been captured at Southharbour after turning half of her chain to cuendillar. She is considered a wilder and a liar when she gives her name and new Ajah.
