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, an infant is born who is prophesied to change the world.
That child must be found before the forces of the Shadow try to kill him. Moiraine Damodred, a young Accepted soon to be raised to Aes Sedai, and Lan Mandragoran, a young 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.
Set in a mythic land torn between the forces of Light and Darkness, The Wheel of Time is the story of Rand al'Thor, a young man from a small farming village who is destined to become the Dragon Reborn, the champion who will confront the ultimate evil known as the Dark One.
The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time. Now, with NEW SPRING: THE NOVEL, find out how the phenomenal tale begins…
