[edit] Blood of the Fold
Sister Leoma stands in the great hall of the Palace of the Prophets, awaiting the arrival of Sister Verna. When the younger Sister arrives, Leoma indicates a pedestal in the middle of the hall. It is surrounded by a Light Web and all the Sisters had attempted to retrieve the Prelates ring that sat upon it, bar Verna. Verna walks easily through the dangerous web and reads a letter that also sits upon the pedestal. It names her as the new Prelate and that all Sisters must follow her.
Leoma becomes an adviser to the new Prelate. During this time Emperor Jagang started to enter Leoma's dreams and give her his instructions. Leoma begins to construct a way to frame Verna as a Sister of the Dark and upon realizing the prophetic ability of Warren, has him locked in Nathan Rahl's former compound.
Waiting in the Prelates office, along with several other Sisters, Leoma awaits Verna. When the young Prelate enters her compound, Leoma takes her by surprise, knocking Verna out with her magic. A trial is held and Leoma sees to it that Verna is found guilty of being a Dark Sister.
Leoma visits Verna in her cell often, using the Rada'Han around Verna's neck to torture her, trying to break her bond to Richard Rahl, on Jagangs orders. Leoma has little success at this and when she brings Millie, a cleaner, to clean out Verna's cell, Millie leaves a dacra for Verna. Using the dacra, Verna stabs Leoma in the leg and has her former advisor give her the names of every Sister of the Dark and remove the Rada'Han from her neck. Verna asks her to return to the Light and when Leoma refuses, kills her instantly.
