[edit] Plot Summary

TSR book cover.

Rand al'Thor and Mat Cauthon pursue their destinies in the Aiel Waste, while Egwene al'Vere studies dreaming with the Wise Ones. Meanwhile, Nynaeve al'Meara and Elayne Trakand pursue the Black Ajah in Tanchico, while Perrin confronts Whitecloaks and Shai'tan's minions in the Two Rivers.

[edit] Plot Developments by Character

  • Rand al'Thor journeys to the Aiel Waste and visits Rhuidean, returning with marks proving his identity as He Who Comes With The Dawn. As prophesied, he fractures the Aiel by telling them of their past, and captures the Forsaken Asmodean.
  • Mat Cauthon unwittingly makes a bargain with the Eelfinn and almost dies for his trouble, but is saved by Rand. As part of the bargain, he obtains a Power-wrought weapon known as an asharandei, as well as a fox-head medallion which makes him immune to direct uses of the One Power. Finally, his fractured memories are filled in with flashes of memory and experience from hundreds of years of men, mostly generals and the like, making Mat Cauthon one of the greatest (if unwilling) generals of the present day.
  • Perrin Aybara returns to the Two Rivers to confront the Whitecloaks razing the district. Without meaning to, he takes over the defense of the area and successfully turns a farming community into a powerful defensive force, pushing back superior Trolloc forces. He realizes his love for Faile, and marries her.

Against his will, Perrin is dubbed Perrin Goldeneyes, the Lord of the Two Rivers, despite any protests to the contrary.
