Summary

Lord of Chaos - Book Six

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time ...

As the Wheel turns, the winds of fate roil across the land, and Rand al'Thor struggles to unite the nation for the Last Battle, when the Dark One will break free into the world, and to spring the snares laid by the immortal Forsaken for unwary humankind.

The White Tower in Tar Valon, under the Amyrlin Elaida, has decided that Rand must be controlled - gentled, if need be - immediately. And in Salidar, among the Aes Sedai in exile, Egwene al'Vere although summoned to high office faces the knowledge that her collegues also wish to bind him.

Drough and summer heat linger into winter, and Nynaeve al'Maera and Elayne, Daughter-Heir of Andor, begin a desperate search for the fabled ter'angreal that may enable them to bring normal weather - a search that takes them among Whitecloaks bent on exterminating Aes Sedai.

And across half a continent, Perrin Aybara feels Rand's pull, ta'veren to ta'veren, and for the first time in a thousand years the bowmen of the Two Rivers march to war.
