The seventh novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.

The war for humanity's survival has begun.

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, has escaped the snares of the White Tower and the first of the rebel Aes Sedai have sworn to follow him. Attacked by the servants of the Dark, threatened by the invading Seanchan, Rand rallies his forces and brings battle to bear upon Illian, stronghold of Sammael the Forsaken . . .

In the city of Ebou Dar, Elayne, Aviendha and Mat struggle to secure the ter'angreal that can break the Dark One's hold on the world's weather - and an ancient bane moves to oppose them. In the town of Salidar, Egwene al'Vere gathers an army to reclaim Tar Valon and reunite the Aes Sedai . . .

And in Shadar Logoth, city of darkness, a terrible power awakens . . .

"Maybe he had earned some right to this crown"

O começo do livro foi bem promissor, com pov do meu personagem favorito, Perrin, até cerca de 20%, mas a partir daí as personagens femininas tiveram mais participação e, consequentemente, a história decaiu. Mat e Rand, no entanto, deixaram tudo mais interessante à medida que o final se aproximava. E que final viu, vou nem comentar (até porque não há palavras que descrevam o que eu senti, apenas "AAAAAAAAAA"). Que venha o oitavo!

"He floated in the Void, surrounded by emptiness beyond knowing, and saidin filled him, trying to grind him to dust beneath steel-shattering cold and heat where stone would flash to flame, carrying the Dark One’s taint on its flow, forcing corruption into his bones. Into his soul, he feared sometimes"

"Master of the lightnings, rider on the storm,
wearer of a crown of swords, spinner-out of fate.
Who thinks he turns the Wheel of Time,
may learn the truth too late."
