Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean.

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...

    I have enjoyed the entire series by this author. The book is what I ordered by not what was described. No book cover like the picture shows and a smaller book in size compared to the other ones I have ordered.

  • They made it right!! 5 stars from 2. (They did replace copy!

    Since I have four girls I’ve been working on my hard cover Robert Jordan collection over 10 years. I’m a first-time customer of thrift books, and was pleased to find a pretty good deal/price for the missing books 4 and 7. Both showed the image of the dust jacket sleeve on the books . book 7 was a bargain and looks good all-around for a used book. However book 4 had no jacket or sleeve on it. All I have to do to finish my collection is get books two and three of the series. As a collector it’s going to look funny being the one book with out a book sleeve on my shelf. Not the worst thing, But when you have a picture of something and don’t mention that your book doesn’t have the cover I wouldn’t have gotten it. I’ve been pretty patient waiting to have it complete all these years. What’s worse is I try to communicate about my issue and no one bothered to email back over72 hours over 3 emails I sent. Two stars because the book itself is in good shape and book 7 was great. Just be careful for what book you’re buying if you’re a collector make sure on these sites that it says it has the cover or not specifically. Grr. Moving on. ***Hey can you guys ever send me a extra original cover for book 4? If you do I’ll be a lifer and refer. If you do, I would also reverse my low scores. (I did score high on the book 7 already separately if you guys ever read any of this stuff Lol).
