What this book is about
Robert Jordan's prequel novella to the Wheel of Time tells the story of how Moiraine and Siuan became Aes Sedai and how Moiraine first met Lan during the final days of the Aiel War. The same tone and content as the main series — epic fantasy with battle violence and the weight of destiny. Appropriate for fans of the series.
