The Wheel of Time. Book 12: The Gathering Storm

The Wheel of Time turns. Ages come and go. What was, what is, and what will come - all may fall before the Shadow that crawls upon the world. And the hour of the Last Battle is approaching... To confront the Shadow, in the face of inevitable war, Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, seeks to unite the peoples and nations of the world. For the fight against the Dark One, he is willing to ally with the invaders who have come from across the ocean. But his comrades are horrified to notice that something dark, grim, and threatening seems to have taken residence in the Dragon's very soul... And it is unknown what poses the greater disaster - Rand's new madness or the treacherous schemes of the Dark One's minions... The bastion of Light, the White Tower, the centuries-old guardian of justice and order, is shattered. Egwene al'Vere, leading the rebel Aes Sedai, tries to reunite the factions gripped by mutual distrust and conflict - both her supporters and those who remained loyal to the former Amyrlin and are now in despair over her tyrannical rule. Every step is dangerous and could decide the fate of the White Tower itself, and perhaps even the entire planet... Unfortunately, the author of the grand epic "The Wheel of Time" left his work unfinished. He died of a rare blood disease, and the concluding novels of the series were completed from his notes and outlines by Brandon Sanderson, then a rising star, and now one of the most renowned masters in the fantasy genre.
