| Knife of Dreams - Robert Jordan |
The Wheel of Time turns, and Robert Jordan gives us the
eleventh volume of his extraordinary masterwork of fantasy.The dead are
walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has
become unstable: All are signs of the imminence of Tarmon Gai'don, the Last
Battle, when Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, must confront the Dark One as
humanity's only hope. But Rand dares not fight until he possesses all the
surviving seals on the Dark One's prison and has dealt with the Seanchan, who threaten
to overrun all nations this side of the Aryth Ocean and increasingly seem too
entrenched to be fought off. But his attempt to make a truce with the Seanchan
is shadowed by treachery that may cost him everything. Whatever the price,
though, he must have that truce. And he faces other dangers. There are those
among the Forsaken who will go to any length to see him dead--and the Black
Ajah is at his side.... Unbeknownst to Rand, Perrin has made his own truce
with the Seanchan. It is a deal made with the Dark One, in his eyes, but he
will do whatever is needed to rescue his wife, Faile, and destroy the Shaido
who captured her. Among the Shaido, Faile works to free herself while hiding a
secret that might give her her freedom or cause her destruction. And at a town
called Malden, the Two Rivers longbow will be matched against Shaido
spears. Fleeing Ebou Dar through Seanchan-controlled Altara with the
kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, Mat attempts to court the woman to whom
he is half-married, knowing that she will complete that ceremony eventually.
But Tuon coolly leads him on a merry chase as he learns that even a gift can
have deep significance among the Seanchan Blood and what he thinks he knows of
women is not enough to save him. For reasons of her own, which she will not
reveal until a time of her choosing, she has pledged not to escape, but Mat
still sweats whenever there are Seanchan soldiers near. Then he learns that
Tuon herself is in deadly danger from those very soldiers. To get her to safety,
he must do what he hates worse than work.... In Caemlyn, Elayne fights to
gain the Lion Throne while trying to avert what seems a certain civil war
should she win the crown.... In the White Tower, Egwene struggles to
undermine the sisters loyal to Elaida from within.... The winds of time
have become a storm, and things that everyone believes are fixed in place
forever are changing before their eyes. Even the White Tower itself is no
longer a place of safety. Now Rand, Perrin and Mat, Egwene and Elayne, Nynaeve
and Lan, and even Loial, must ride those storm winds, or the Dark One will
triumph.
