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.

Elayne, Aviendha, and Mat come ever closer to the bowl ter'angreal that may reverse the world's endless heat wave 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 faces the dread Forsaken Sammael, in the shadows of Shadar Logoth, where the blood-hungry mist, Mashadar, waits for prey.

"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."
