In this volume, Perrin begins a hunt that will certainly last a few more books. He is followed by Berelain, Morgase, and the Prophet.

Meanwhile, Elayne has returned to Andor in order to secure her claim to the throne. In this volume she has a few surprise visitors as well. (Read about one of them in the prologue.)

Mat Cauthon has arrived back on the scene! (Fans will remember he was absent in The Path of Daggers.) As he is recovering from an injury, and trying to avoid being killed by a gholam, he runs into somebody that he's been dreading for a long time....

Lastly, Rand has finally left behind politics and seeks to find a way to shift the balance of the war into his favor. The result is a climax that many fans are calling the greatest scene in the books so far. Be prepared for an ending that will amaze you and make you want to read it again!
