This is the eighth book in the Wheel of Time series. This book mainly focuses on storylines related to the women of the series. Rand has some significant chapters, Perrin is in the thick of some important events but their parts are condensed and Mat is absent from this book.
The Seanchan have returned by invading Ebou Dar. Rand is determined to prevent them from advancing into Illian and push them back. Perrin is in Ghealdan to contact the ruler and to bring the Prophet of the Dragon, Masema, back to Rand. Elayne and Nynaeve are travelling back to Caemlyn so Elayne can try to claim the throne of Andor. Egwene and the rebel Aes Sedai are travelling on their way to the White Tower. Along the way, they run into an army of Murandians and Andorans who don't want them going through Andor. They promise them they won't and Travel via magic to the White Tower.
None of the event in this book were especially significant but there were a few developments that change the pattern of the overall story. This one wasn't one of my favorites in the series so far but it was pretty good. One theme of the series is that some groups of people and some people think they are infallible or not likely to be defeated, events reveal their hubris and they are humbled.
