The end draws near as the Last Battle begins, with the seals on the Dark One’s prison crumbling and the Pattern unraveling. The armies of the Shadow emerge from the Blight, signaling the twilight of the Third Age. Perrin Aybara finds himself haunted by past specters—Whitecloaks, a wolf slayer, and the burdens of leadership. An unseen enemy tightens its grip on him, forcing Perrin to seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod. He must master the wolf within or risk losing himself completely. Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon faces his own daunting challenge. The Aelfinn and Eelfinn have left him confused and taunted, burdened with fragmented memories of other lives. He hoped to end his encounters with them, but the Wheel weaves as it wills, and he must once again confront the Snakes and the Foxes in a game that seems unwinnable. The Tower of Ghenjei looms, holding secrets that could reveal the fate of a long-lost friend. This penultimate installment of Robert Jordan’s bestselling series, based on materials he left behind, brings significant developments to many threads in the Pattern. As the end approaches, it’s time to toss the dice. Dovie’andi se tovya sagain.
The remnants of the Clan of the Seven Stars are returning to their long abandoned homeworld . . . but not as friends. The elves, led by the conjurer Laromendis, flee the relentless demon hordes sweeping through their galaxy—and the conquest of war-weary Midkemia is the Clan's sole hope for survival . . . if the Dread Legion does not pursue them through the rift. The magician Pug knows what horrors will surely follow the elven invasion, for slaughter alone will sate Demon King Maarg's minions. For the death tide to be turned, Midkemia's constant defender must somehow unite bitter foes and vengeful former lovers—because failure to do so will mean annihilation.
