Book description
The fifth book in Robert Jordan's internationally bestselling epic
fantasy series, THE WHEEL OF TIME, now reissued with a stunning new
cover design. The bonds and wards that hold the Great Lord of the Dark
are slowly failing, but still his fragile prison holds. The Forsaken,
immortal servants of the shadow, weave their snares and tighten their
grip upon the realms of men, sure in the knowledge that their master
will soon break free … Rand al' Thor, the Dragon Reborn, knows that he
must strike at the Enemy, but his forces are divided by treachery and by
ambition. Even the Aes Sedai, ancient guardians of the Light, are riven
by civil war. Betrayed by his allies, pursued by his enemies and beset
by the madness that comes to the male wielders of the One Power, Rand
rides out to meet the foe. 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.
