What this book is about
This prequel to the Wheel of Time series follows Moiraine Damodred and Lan Mandragoran in the aftermath of the Aiel War, as Moiraine receives a Foretelling and begins hunting the Dragon Reborn's birthplace. Jordan's rich world-building and intricate political maneuvering are as fully realized here as in the main series, in a more intimate and focused package.
