Book description
The fourth book in Robert Jordan's internationally bestselling epic
fantasy series, THE WHEEL OF TIME, now reissued with a stunning new
cover design. The Stone of Tear, invulnerable fortress of legend, has
fallen. The Children of the Dragon have risen to the call of prophecy
and march to the aid of the Light. Callandor, the Sword That Is Not a
Sword, is held by Rand al' Thor, the man proclaimed as the Dragon
Reborn. But still the shadows lengthen and still the Forsaken grow in
strength. If he is to fight them, Rand must master the male half of the
True Source, a power corrupted by the Dark One, a power that drives men
to madness, a power that may save or damn the world. Robert Jordan was
born in 1948 in Charleston. He was a graduate of the Citadel, the
Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics, and served
two tours in Vietnam. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, sailing,
poker, chess, pool and pipe collecting. He died in September 2007.
