The Wheel of Time is spinning. Eras come and go. What was, what is and what is coming ahead - everything can fall before the Shadow that is creeping over the world. And the hour of the Last Battle is approaching... In order to resist the Shadow, on the eve of the inevitable war, Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, seeks to unite the peoples and states of the world. For the sake of fighting the Dark One, he is ready to enter into an alliance with invaders who have come from overseas. But his comrades notice with horror that something dark, gloomy, threatening seems to have settled in the soul of the Dragon himself... And it is unknown what threatens great disasters - Rand’s new madness or the insidious machinations of the Dark One’s minions... The Stronghold of Light, the White Tower, the centuries-old guardian of justice and order , split. Egwene al'Vere, having led the rebel Aes Sedai, is trying to once again unite together the factions seized by mutual distrust and strife - both her supporters and those who remained loyal to the former Amyrlin and are now in despair because of her tyrannical rule. Every step is dangerous and can decide the fate of the White Tower itself, and perhaps the entire planet... Unfortunately, the author of the grandiose epic “The Wheel of Time” left his work unfinished. The writer died of a rare blood disease, and the final novels of the series were completed based on his drafts and sketches by Brandon Sanderson, then a rising star, and now one of the world's most famous masters in the fantasy genre.
