The second book in Robert Jordan's internationally bestselling epic
fantasy series, THE WHEEL OF TIME. The Forsaken are loose, the Horn of
Valere has been found and the Dead are rising from their dreamless
sleep. The Prophecies are being fulfilled - but Rand alÕ Thor, the
shepherd the Aes Sedai have proclaimed as the Dragon Reborn, desperately
seeks to escape his destiny. Rand cannot run forever. With every passing
