Power and trust under pressure in the eighth Wheel of Time novel

The Seanchan advance toward Illian, bringing Rand al’Thor and his Asha’man into a battle where the use of the One Power carries a growing danger. Some Asha’man lose control of their channeling, and Rand faces related turmoil of his own: visions, a troubling voice, and debilitating effects when he uses the Power. His choice to wield Callandor in the fight has consequences for allies as well as enemies, and changes how those closest to him regard him. The novel brings military conflict together with questions of control, responsibility, and the strain that power places on loyalty. As the eighth installment in The Wheel of Time, it continues the series’ ongoing story of Rand and the forces gathering around him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following the ongoing Wheel of Time series, especially its later installments.
  • Fans of epic fantasy involving large-scale conflict, magic, and political loyalties.
  • Readers interested in stories about the risks and responsibilities that accompany power.

Book overview

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Path of Daggers, the eighth novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time(R), Rand al'Thor engages in battle wearing the Crown of Swords and wielding Callandor against a force unprepared for the wrath of the Dragon Reborn.

The Seanchan invaders are heading for Illian--and Rand's army of Asha'man soldiers. When they meet in battle, some of the Asha'man are afflicted by madness, unable to control their channeling and unleashing raw power.

The madness extends to Rand himself. He has been hearing the voice of a man believed to have been the previous Dragon Reborn. Besieged by visions and debilitated whenever he uses the One Power, Rand chooses to attack the Seanchan with Callandor. The sword consumes him with a berserker rage, felling ally and enemy alike. And when he regains his senses, Rand finds himself less trusted by those who were once the most loyal.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
