What this book is about
The eighth Wheel of Time novel follows multiple storylines: Rand's attack on the Seanchan forces, Egwene's efforts to unite the rebel Aes Sedai and lay siege to the White Tower, and Perrin's hunt for the Prophet. Jordan's epic continues with his characteristic scope and attention to character. The shortest of the later WoT novels. Violence in the Seanchan campaign is significant. For Wheel of Time readers in sequence.
