Rumors of the Dragon Reborn's battle at Falme are everywhere. Young men who vaguely look like Rand are being captured or killed.
Meanwhile, Rand, Moraine, Lan and Perrin wait out the chaos in a hidden canyon. One night Trollocs attack, and Rand is unable to help with the fight at all. Disgusted, he leaves, alone, determined to make his way to Tear and the Heart of Stone. There his destiny will be fulfilled, if he really is the Dragon. Somehow he still isn't sure.
Perrin struggles to deal with his affinity with the wolves. Part of him wants to forget his humanity and run with them, part of him fears and loathes losing himself. He also gains a follower of sorts.
Mat, cured by the Aes Sedai of the poisonous effects of the dagger he's carried too long, is desperate to leave Tar Valon and take to the road.
Egwene, Nynaeve and Elayne continue to develop their powers, training now as Accepted.
Within the Tower, though, the foundations of all the Aes Sedai stand for are threatened by the Black Ajah who have risen among them. Though thirteen left the Tower, they stole artifacts and murdered some of their sisters.
Soon everyone seems to be heading downriver towards Tear. Another great adventure in this series.
