    Au pays des Deux Rivières, on fête le printemps : Rand part livrer le cidre au bourg avec son père. Osera-t-il demander une danse à Egwene ? Et pourquoi voit-il ce cavalier noir derrière lui ? Dame Moiraine lui révèle que le cavalier noir le cherche : Rand doit se réfugier à TarValon, chez les Aes Sedai, maîtresses du pouvoir unique. Le pouvoir unique... Le Seigneur de l'Ombre ayant jadis voulu conquérir le monde, les Aes Sedai, conduits par le Dragon, le repoussèrent aux confins de l'univers. Pour se venger, il suscita chez les vainqueurs une folie meurtrière. On dit que le Dragon renaîtra pour délivrer la Terre ravagée... et voici que le vent se lève dans les Montagnes de la Brume.

  2. Le Seigneur de l'Ombre a jadis voulu conquérir la Terre, mais les Aes Sedai, maîtresses du Pouvoir Unique, l'ont repoussé. Pour se venger, il a inspiré aux vainqueurs une folle meurtrière. Quant au Dragon qui guidait les Aes Sedai, on dit qu'un jour il renaîtra pour délivrer l'univers. En attendant, les serviteurs du Ténébreux abattent leurs cartes : un peu partout éclatent les rixes et les incendies. Sur les conseils de Moiraine, une Aes Sedai, Rand et ses compagnons, traqués par un cavalier sans visage, se mettent en route vers l'Œil du Monde, dont la surface limpide est source de " saidin ". Ils y trouvent la Bannière du Dragon et le Cor de Valère, dont le son - dit la légende - fera surgir de la tombe les héros du passé. Mais Rand osera-t-il souffler dans l'instrument magique ? Selon qu'il penchera - bon gré mal gré - vers la Lumière ou les Ténèbres, c'est une légion de héros... ou une armée de démons qu'il fera sortir des entrailles de la terre. Il se sait investi d'un pouvoir capable de tout anéantir et songe à fuir loin de ceux qu'il aime.

    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. The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind. In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken? In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn. In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland. In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve. Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn...- from Goodreads
