Book description
The eighth book in Robert Jordan's internationally bestselling epic
fantasy series, THE WHEEL OF TIME, now reissued with a stunning new
cover design. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, has conquered the city of
Illian, struck down Sammael the Forsaken and shattered the armies of the
invading Seanchan. Nynaeve, Aviendha and Elayne have broken the Dark
One's hold on the world's weather and are poised to retake the throne of
Andor. And Egwene al'Vere, leader of the exiled Aes Sedai, marches on to
the White Tower. But Rand and the Asha'man that follow him are slowly
being corrupted by the madness that comes to the male wielders of the
One Power. If they cannot remove the Dark One's taint from the True
Source then none will survive to fight the Last Battle against the
Shadow. And as Rand struggles to maintain his sanity the Seanchan launch
their counter strike. Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston. He
