THE GATHERING STORM: The Wheel of Time, book 12

The twelfth novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.

Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.

Rand al'Thor struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle, as his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself.

Egwene al'Vere is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. She works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai, as the days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower - and possibly the world itself.
