The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it
seems as though reality itself has become unstable: All are
signs of the imminence of Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle,
when Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, must confront the
Dark One as humanity's only hope. But Rand dares not fight
until he possesses all the surviving seals on the Dark
One's prison and has dealt with the Seanchan, who threaten
to overrun all nations this side of the Aryth Ocean and
increasingly seem too entrenched to be fought off. But his
attempt to make a truce with the Seanchan is shadowed by
treachery that may cost him everything. Whatever the price,
though, he must have that truce. And he faces other
dangers. There are those among the Forsaken who will go to
any length to see him dead--and the Black Ajah is at his
side.... Unbeknownst to Rand, Perrin has made his own truce
with the Seanchan. It is a deal made with the Dark One, in
his eyes, but he will do whatever is needed to rescue his
wife, Faile, and destroy the Shaido who captured her. Among
the Shaido, Faile works to free herself while hiding a
secret that might give her her freedom or cause her
destruction. And at a town called Malden, the Two Rivers
longbow will be matched against Shaido spears.
Fleeing Ebou Dar through Seanchan-controlled Altara with
the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, Mat attempts to
court the woman to whom he is half-married, knowing that
she will complete that ceremony eventually. But Tuon coolly
leads him on a merry chase as he learns that even a gift
can have deep significance among the Seanchan Bloodand what
he thinks he knows of women is not enough to save him. For
reasons of her own, which she will not reveal until a time
of her choosing, she has pledged not to escape, but Mat
still sweats whenever there are Seanchan soldiers near.
Then he learns that Tuon herself is in deadly danger from
those very soldiers. To get her to safety, he must do what
he hates worse than work.... In Caemlyn, Elayne fights to
gain the Lion Throne while trying to avert what seems a
certain civil war should she win the crown.... In the White
Tower, Egwene struggles to undermine the sisters loyal to
Elaida from within.... The winds of time have become a
storm, and things that everyone believes are fixed in place
forever are changing before their eyes. Even the White
Tower itself is no longer a place of safety. Now Rand,
Perrin and Mat, Egwene and Elayne, Nynaeve and Lan, and
even Loial, must ride those storm winds, or the Dark One
will triumph.
