Summary
EDITORIAL REVIEW: rom America's premier fantasy writer-the #1 New York Times
and USA Today bestselling author of Crossroads of
Twilight-comes New Spring: The Novel. Robert Jordan's Wheel of
Time has captured the imagination of millions of readers who
eagerly await each new volume of the saga. Now, Jordan gives us
a glimpse of the events leading up to the first book of the
Wheel of Time. New Spring: The Novel is a perfect introduction
to the Wheel of Time. For three days, battle has raged in the
snow around the great city of Tar Valon. In the city, a
Foretelling of the future is uttered. On the slopes of
Dragonmount, the immense mountain that looms over the city, is
born an infant prophesied to change the world. That child must
be found before the forces of the Shadow have an opportunity to
kill him. Moiraine Damodred, a young Accepted soon to be raised
to Aes Sedai, and Lan Mandragoran, a young soldier fighting in
the battle, are set on paths that will bind their lives
together. But those paths are filled with complications and
dangers, for Moiraine, of the Royal House of Cairhien, whose
King has just died, and Lan, considered the uncrowned king of a
nation long dead, find their lives threatened by the plots of
those seeking power. 'New Spring,' the novella first published
in Legends, related some of these events, in compressed form.
New Spring: The Novel tells the whole story. Robert Jordan is a
graduate of The Citadel. He lives in Charleston, South
Carolina.
