The Eye of the World
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
return again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, when the World and Time themselves hang
in the balance, a wind rises in the mountains of mist . . .
. . . and Rand al'Thor is cold. Though the spring festival of Bel Tine comes tomorrow,
it is a year without spring, a year when green things fail and hope is dying.
It is a year of strangers; of a lady; and a gleeman with his tales of heroes; and a
peddler with news of the present -- of war with Ghealdan, far away, and of the rising of a
false Dragon -- the savior whose coming, foretold and dreaded, will bring a new Breaking to
the World. But the worst strangers are monsters Rand thought only legend -- the bestial
Trollocs, and the horrifying Halfmen, whose eyeless gaze is fear.
They want a boy on the brink of manhood, born within a certain span of months. They
want Rand himself, or his burly, deliberate friend Perrin, or the prankster Mat.
It is a world where nothing is what it seems. Not Nynaeve, the village Wisdom, who can
Read the Wind. Not Moiraine, the lady from outside, whose beauty hides a terrifying
identity and a Power that seemed only yesterday to be the stuff of legend. Not the lady's
companion, Lan, whose chameleon cloak is stranger than the fluttering, multihued garment
that proclaims the gleeman's trade of old Thom Merrilin. And not Egwene, the innkeeper's
dark-haired daughter, caught between childhood and womanhood, between love of Rand and
determination to become all that her destiny would make her.
The villagers know only that Trollocs hunt them. They have no way of knowing that the
Dark One, imprisoned by the Creator at the moment of creation, is stirring in Shayol Ghul.
It is a time for prophecies to be fulfilled. The Wheel of Time is weaving a Web in the
Pattern of Ages, a Web to entangle the World. It is a time when Time itself may die, when
the Eye of the World may be blinded. What was, and what will be, and what is, may yet fall
under the Shadow. |  |

The Great Hunt
For centuries traveling gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So
many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of . . .
Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn
which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.
And it is stolen.
Rand al'Thor, the farmboy who is thought to be the Dragon Reborn -- the leader long
prophesied who will save the world, but in the saving destroy it; the savior who will run
mad and kill all those dearest to him -- refuses to accept his fate. Even facing the
dreaded Amrylin, the leader of the Aes Sedai who may intend to "gentle" him, Rand fiercely
denies his Power. He will have none of it -- no matter what Myrddraal and Trollocs, Aes
Sedai and dreams stand in his way.
But with the Horn another object is stolen: a dagger from the terrible ruins of Shadar
Logoth. Unless the dagger is recovered, Mat Cauthon's life will end. And Mat is Rand's
oldest friend. Unwillingly, distrusting everyone, Rand is drawn into the Hunt.
As Egwene, the innkeeper's lovely daughter, and Nynaeve, the young village Wisdom, set
out for Tar Valon's White Tower, seat of the Aes Sedai, Rand and the ogier Loial,
accompanied by Perrin Aybara, the Wolfbrother who was once a blacksmith, track the Horn and
dagger through Shienar -- and enter a world stranger than time itself. But Rand cannot
escape his Power. The Dark One is stirring in Shayol Ghul. The Dark One wants the Horn. The
Dark One wants Rand.

The Dragon Reborn
The Dragon Reborn -- the leader long prophesied who will save the world, but in the
saving destroy it; the savior who will run mad and kill all those dearest to him -- is on
the run from his destiny.
Able to touch the One Power, but unable to control it, and with no one to teach him how
-- for no man has done it in three thousand years -- Rand al'Thor knows only that he must
face the Dark One. But how?
Winter has stopped the war -- almost -- yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon.
But where is he?
Perrin Aybara is in pursuit with Moiraine Sedai, her Warder Lan, and Loial the Ogier.
Bedeviled by dreams, Perrin is grappling with another deadly problem -- how is he to escape
the loss of his own humanity?
Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve are approaching Tar Valon, where Mat will be Healed -- if he
lives until they arrive. But who will tell Amyrlin their news -- that the Black Ajah, long
thought only a hideous rumor, is all too real? They cannot know that in Tar Valon far worse
awaits . . .
Ahead, for all of them, in the Heart of the Stone, lies the next great test of the
Dragon Reborn. . . .

The Shadow Rising
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 plots 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. . .

The Fires of Heaven
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go. What was, and what will be, and what
is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
In this sequel to the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Shadow Rising, Robert
Jordan again plunges us into his extraordinarily rich, totally unforgettable world:
. . . Into the forbidden city of Rhuidean, where Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn,
must conceal his present endeavor from all about him, even Egwene and Moiraine.
. . . Into the Amyrlin's study in the White Tower, where the Amyrlin, Elaida do Avriny
a'Roihan, is weaving new plans.
. . . Into Andor, where Siuan Sanche and her companions, including the false Dragon
Logain, have been arrested for barn-burning.
. . . Into the luxurious hidden chamber where the Forsaken Rahvin is meeting with three
of his fellows to ensure their ultimate victory over the Dragon.
. . . Into the Queen's court in Caemlyn, where Morgase is curiously in thrall to the
handsome Lord Gaebril.
For once the Dragon walks the land, the fires of heaven fall where they will, until all
men's lives are ablaze.
And in Shayol Ghul, the Dark One stirs. . . .

Lord of Chaos
On the slopes of Shayol Ghul, the Myrddraal swords are forged, and the sky is not the
sky of this world. In Salidar the White Tower in exile prepares an embassy to Caemlyn,
where Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, holds the throne -- and where an unexpected visitor
may change the world. In Emond's Field, Perrin Goldeneyes, Lord of the Two Rivers, feels
the pull of ta'veren to ta'veren and prepares to march. Morgase of Caemlyn finds a most
unexpected, and quite unwelcome, ally. And south lies Illian, where Sammael holds sway. . .
|  |
The Crown of Swords
Elayne, Aviendha, and Mat come ever closer to locating the Bowl of the Winds, a
ter'angreal that may reverse the endless heat wave sent by the Dark One and restore natural
weather. Egwene begins to gather all manner of women who can channel -- Sea Folk,
Windfinders, Wise Ones, and some surprising others. And, above all, Rand al'Thor faces the
dread Forsaken Sammael in the shadows of Shadar Logoth, where the blood-hungry mist,
Mashadar, waits for prey.
|  |
The Path of Daggers
The Seanchan invasion force is in possession of Ebou Dar. Nynaeve, Elayne, and Aviendha
head for Caemlyn and Elayne's rightful throne, but on the way they discover an enemy much
worse than the Seanchan.
In Illian, Rand vows to throw the Seanchan back as he did once before. But signs of
madness are appearing among the Asha'man.
In Ghealdan, Perrin faces the intrigues of Whitecloaks, Seanchan invaders, the
scattered Shaido Aiel, and the Prophet himself. Perrin's beloved wife, Faile, may pay with
her life, and Perrin himself may have to destroy his soul to save her.
Meanwhile the rebel Aes Sedai under their young Amyrlin, Egwene al'Vere, face an army
that intends to keep them away from the White Tower. But Egwene is determined to unseat the
usurper Elaida and reunite the Aes Sedai. She does not yet understand the price that others
-- and she herself -- will pay.

Winter's Heart
The ninth in The Wheel of Time series, Winter's Heart begins with Rand on the run with Min. Faile, with the Aiel Maidens, Bain and Chiad, is prisoner of Sevanna's sept. Perrin is hunting desperately for Faile. With Elyas Machera, Berelain, the Prophet, and a very mixed "army" of disparate forces, he is moving through a country rife with bandits and roving Seanchan. The Forsaken are ever more present, and united, and the man called Slayer stalks Tel'aran'rhiod and the wolfdream. In Ebou Dar, the Seanchan princess known as Daughter of the Nine Moons arrives--and Mar, who has been recuperating in the Tarasin Palace, is introduced to her. Will the marriage that has been foretold come about? |  |
Crossroads of Twilight
In the tenth book of The Wheel of Time, from the New York Times #1 bestselling author Robert Jordan, the world and the characters stand at a crossroads, and the world approaches twilight, when the power of the shadow grows stronger.
Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit.
Perrin Aybara seeks to free his wife, Faile, a captive of the Shaido, but his only hope may be an alliance with the enemy. Can he remain true to his friend Rand, and to himself? For his love of Faile, Perrin is willing to sell his soul.
At Tar Valon, Egwene Al'Vere, the young Amyrlin of the rebel Aes Sedai, lays siege to the heart of Aes Sedai power, but she must win quickly, with as little bloodshed as possible, for unless the Aes Sedai are reunited, only the male Asha'man will remain to defend the world against the Dark One, and nothing can hold the Asha'man themselves back from total power except the Aes Sedai and a unified White Tower.
In Andor, Elayne Trakand fights for the Lion Throne that is hers by right, but enemies and Darkfriends surround her, plotting her destruction. If she fails, Andor may fall to the Shadow, and the Dragon Reborn with it.
Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared—even one prophesied to save the world. Now Rand must gamble again, with himself at stake, and he cannot be sure which of his allies are really enemies.

The Knife of Dreams
In the eleventh book in the fantasy series The Wheel of Time, American author Robert Jordan, fnishes tying up several loose ends from the previous books.
Elayne has gained the Throne of Andor, and has achieved success in rooting out the Black Ajah from within Caemlyn, but now she must decide what to do about the situations taking place outside of her kingdom.
Perrin Aybara has made a deal with the Seanchan to rescue his wife, however, the corrupting presence of his untrusted ally Masema may prove to be what destroys his plans in the end.
The 'Rebel' Amyrlin Egwene Al'vere has been captured by White Tower Aes Sedai and has been demoted to the whote of a Novice, along with the duties that accompany it. However, she is far from beaten, something the White Tower will come to learn, painfully.
Rand Al'Thor is preparing to make his final move against the Dark One and his servants, but his descent into madness seems to be coming at a pace faster than ever before. After all, for how long can one trust the word of a man that's been dead for over ten-thousand years.
Mathrim Cauthon is fleeing from Seanchan-held lands as quickly as he can, along with his prophesized wife Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, but it soon becomes apparent that even the Seanchan are not beyond the reach of the Dark touch of Shayol Ghul.
