The Wheel of Time seriesNext:From the Two Rivers: The Eye of the World, Part 1(1990) →

In the quiet farming village of Emond's Field, a young man named Rand al'Thor lives a simple life with his father and friends, unaware of the forces stirring in the world beyond. When a mysterious woman named Moiraine arrives, she brings with her a warrior and a traveling storyteller, and the peace is shattered by an attack from monstrous shadow creatures called Trollocs. The villagers flee, and Moiraine reveals that one of the young people with them may be the Dragon Reborn, a figure from ancient prophecy whose coming is tied to a looming war between light and darkness. Hunted and uncertain of his own nature, Rand sets out on a journey that will take him far from home into a world of magic and danger.
