Synopsis
The fourteenth and final novel of the series opens with preparations for Tarmon Gai'don, the long-prophesied Last Battle between the forces of Light and Shadow. Rand al'Thor convenes rulers and leaders from across the world at the Field of Merrilor, proposing the Dragon's Peace, a treaty intended to fix national borders and prevent future wars once the immediate crisis has passed, though the proposal meets with resistance from several of the assembled leaders. As the armies of Light move to face the Shadow's forces, multiple crises unfold across different fronts, including sabotage from the Forsaken Graendal that forces Mat Cauthon into an unexpected command role, and the unforeseen arrival of the distant nation of Shara under enemy control. Amid argument over Rand's intentions, Rand prepares to face the Dark One directly as the world's armies commit fully to the final struggle.
