Meanwhile, Mat, Elyane, and Nyneave go to Ebou Dar to find the Bowl of the Winds, what they believe can fix the unnatural weather that the world has been experiencing. Readers who are fans of Mat Cauthon usually love this book as he gets himself into some unexpected trouble that some say "He had coming".

In this book we also begin to learn more of some new threats from the Shadow. New Forsaken walk the world, and new enemies seem to spring up around the land. All of this culminates in an ending that is truly dark and mysterious.
