Egwene goes for broke in an all out attempt to unite the tower. Rand struggles with his sanity, while Cadsuane Sedai and the Wise Ones struggle to guide him. Elayne, Avihenda, and Nynaeve meanwhile flee Ebou Dar, which has fallen to the Seanchan. They head towards Andor, where Elayne will attempt to take back the Lion Throne.

Even though this book is not as much high adventure as the earlier books, it boasts an amazing battle scene spanning over 100 pages, contains hidden secrets and information for the die-hard fans, and sets you up for what will end up being one of the most amazing parts of the entire series: the seige of Tar Valon.

Path of Daggers was the first new book that Dragonmount covered. We opened our site a few months before its release in 1998. It was an exciting time for us. Just that reason alone makes this book one of our favorites.
