The book is the sixth in the Wheel of Time series and was preceded by the New York Times bestseller The Fires of Heaven. It consists of 55 chapters with 1007 pages, a prologue, and an epilogue –the first book in the series to have one. The book was nominated for Best Fantasy Novel in the 1995 Locus Awards. The novel finds Rand al'Thor as the ruler of both Caemlyn and Cairhien alternating his time between both thrones. The plot develops further once he receives emissaries from Salidar in Caemlyn where Rand attempts to make an accord with female mystics, Aes Sedai. In Cairhien, Rand is also approached by an envoy from Elaida led by Gawyn Trakand and his Younglings. The battle with the Dark One rages on, as his powers grow stronger and revives his minions that torment the land. With multiple characters and plotlines, the book contains several more points of view than the previous novels. This series is so complex, I can’t recommend starting anywhere but at the beginning, but the volumes only get richer as they go along.” Update this section!
