The Eye of the World - Wheel of Time, Bk 1 - Limited Edition Author:Robert Jordan THE EYE OF THE WORLD (Limited Edition) : Though the spring festival of Bel Tine comes tomorrow, it is a year without spring, a year when green things fail and hope is dying. It is a year of strangers; it is a world where nothing is what it seems. It is a time for prophecies to be fulfilled. It is a time when Time itself may die, when the Eye of ... more »the World may be blinded ...and Rand al'Thor is cold. Life in Emond's Field has been pretty boring for three young friends, Rand Al'Thor, Matrim Cauthorn (Mat) and Perrin Aybara, until they are attacked by subhuman monsters, bestial Trollocs. With the help of Lady Moiraine, an Aes Sedai, a woman who can wield the One Power and her Warder Lan, the young boys flee their homeland. But it is only the beginning of their troubles. For Moraine believes Rand Al'Thor is the Dragon Reborn, and that he is fated to unite the world against the rising darkness and lead the fight against a being so powerful and evil it is known simply as the Dark One. The boys are pursued relentlessly by the forces of the evil Dark One-- across an imaginative, fantastical world of strange wonders and deadly horror--where goodness stands on the brink of destruction--for the Wheel of Time is weaving a web in the pattern of ages, a web to entangle the world.
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, when the World and Time themselves hang in the balance, a wind rises in the mountains of mist...what was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
