Synopsis: The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving
memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long
forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an
Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was,
what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One
reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.
In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the
White Tower itself be broken?
In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man
with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.
In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.
In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.
Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn... (from the online description)

Review: In the fourth installment of Jordan’s The Wheel of Time, we fine Rand still in Tear. After his triumph and his fulfillment of the prophecy by take the Stone of Tear, Rand must decide what to do next. Rumor reaches him that his home of Two Rivers is under oppression by the Whitecloaks – but going there might place all in jeopardy. The Forsaken are looking for him and The White Tower has dubious motives. Danger and Death are at every turn. Rand, for all his youth, decides to forge his own path and does so with strength beyond his years.
With his notable and customary talent, Jordan sweeps the
reader along a fast-paced journey. From Tar Valon to Tanchico, from the Two
Rivers to the Aiel Wastes, we follow each of the main characters as they plunge
into danger, fight against the growing darkness, and discover new friends and
enemies. Jordan’s ability to weave new characters into the narrative, bring old
ones back, and keep the reader invested is a testament to his talent.
An excellent continuation of the series and worth reading.
