That raises more questions than it answers, though. First and foremost: how does Salem know that Ruby is the Summer maiden if not even Ruby herself knows? She clearly didn't know before the fall of Beacon, because if she had, Cinder would have been instructed to capture her, and she clearly wasn't. And there was nothing that transpired in the interim that would have tipped Salem off.

And also: if she's the Summer maiden, why isn't Ruby presenting maiden powers?
