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.

For three days battle has raged in the snow around the great city of Tar Valon. In the city, a Foretelling of the future is uttered. On the slopes of Dragonmount, the immense mountain that looms over the city, is born an infant prophesied to change the world. That child must be found before the forces of the Shadow have an opportunity to kill him.

Moiraine Damodred, a young Accepted soon to be raised to Aes Sedai, and Lan Mandragoran, a soldier fighting in the battle, are set on paths that will bind their lives together. But those paths are filled with complications and dangers, for Moiraine, of the Royal House of Cairhien, whose king has just died, and Lan, considered the uncrowned king of a nation long dead, find their lives threatened by the plots of those seeking power.

New Spring begins Moiraine and Lan's quest to find the Dragon Reborn that will lead to the events of The Eye of the World...and their fateful meeting with Rand al'Thor. New Spring is a perfect jumping-on point for fantasy readers wanting to know more about The Wheel of Time and the forthcoming TV show.

“Só devemos render-nos quando estivermos mortos.”

Nova Primavera conta a história de Moiraine Damodred antes de se tornar Aes Sedai, de como Lan Mandragoran se torna seu Guardião e de tudo que os levou aos acontecimentos no Roda do Tempo Livro 1: O Olho do Mundo, 20 anos depois.

Entendemos melhor a personalidade de Moiraine, seus sacrifícios, seu relacionamento com Siuan e Lan e sua perspectivas para o futuro que virá.

“Os fios que teciam eram vidas humanas e a trama que urdiam era muito mais importante do que qualquer fio individual.”

“Esta era a carga que uma Aes Sedai devia carregar: a família morta, tudo o que se conhecia desaparecido. Exceto a Torre. A Torre Branca sempre perdurava.”
