"The solid performances by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer add a new dimension to the story, especially in the way these veteran narrators breathe life into the inner thoughts of themany major players." --AudioFile magazine on Wheel of Time - Book 10 - Crossroads of Twilight

"Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal. . . . The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the . . . evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." --The New York Times on The Wheel of Time™

"The Wheel of Time™ . . . is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." --Chicago Sun-Times

For centuries traveling gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the hunters to tell of ....

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

Again it is stolen.

Rand al 'Thor, the farm-boy who is thought to be the Dragon Reborn -- the leader long prophesied who will save the world, but in the saving destroy it; the savior who will run mad and kill all those dearest to him -- refuses to accept his fate. Even facing the dreaded Amyrlin, the leader of the Aes Sedai who may intend to gentle him, Rand fiercely denies his power.

But with the Horn another object is stolen: a dagger from the terrible ruins of Shadar Logoth. Unless the dagger is recovered, Mat Cauthon's life will end. And Mat is Rand's oldest friend. Unwillingly, distrusting everyone, Rand is drawn into the Hunt. The Dark One is stirring in Shayol Ghul. The Dark One wants the Horn. The Dark One wants Rand.
