A Crown of Swords

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

The eagerly awaited sequel to Lord of Chaos, The New York Time bestseller that swept the nation like a firestorm.

In this volume, Elayne, Aviendha, and Mat come ever closer to the bowl ter'angreal that may reverse the world's endless heat wave and restore natural weather. Egwene begins to gather all manner of women who can channel--Sea Folk, Windfinders, Wise Ones, and some surprising others. And above all, Rand faces the dread Forsaken Sammael, in the shadows of Shador Logoth, where the blood-hungry mist, Mashadar, waits for prey.

Quotes of the Dragon

(from the front and back of the book)

"There can be no health in us, not any good thing grow, for the land is one with the Dragon Reborn, and he one with the land. Soul of fire, heart of stone, in pride he conquers, forcing the proud to yield. He calls upon the moutains to kneel, and the seas to give way, and the very skies to bow. Pray that the heart of stone remembers tears, and the soul of fire, love.

--From a much-disputed translation of The Prophecies o fthe Dragon by the poet Kyera Termendal, of Shiota, believed to have been published between FY 700 and FY 800"
