Summary of the Book

The Forsaken are loose once again, and the Horn of Valere is lost. Even as Rand al’Thor struggles to come to terms with his newly discovered powers, he finds himself helping his friends search for the horn. The forces of darkness have also stolen the strange ruby dagger that seems to be linked with Rand’s friend Matrim Cauthon. If Rand and the others cannot return these two artefacts into the hands of the Aes Sedai, all hope is lost. Rand must also try and decide what to do about his destiny. Could he really be the legendary Dragon Reborn? Or is he just another pawn in complex Aes Sedai schemes? After all, the Aes Sedai never hesitated before orchestrating False Dragons’ actions in the past. Rand wants to escape his powers, but before he can, he must meet with the Flame of Tar Valon, the head of the Aes Sedai, the all-powerful Amyrlin Seat.
