Summary
Robert Jordan: Twilight Crossroads
Matt Cawton escapes from Ebou Dar. His party happens to include Tuon - the woman he is destined to marry - but he can neither keep her nor let her go without endangering them both, as both the Shadow and the powerful Seanshan Empire relentlessly pursue them. Perrin Aybara continues his desperate search for his wife Faila, who has been captured by the Shaidoi. His only chance to save her may lie in an alliance with a sworn enemy. How far is he willing to go for love? And can he stay true to Rand - and himself? Before the great walls of Tar Valon, Egwene al'Ver, Amrilin of the rebel Aes Sedai, consolidates her forces and plans how to overthrow Elaida with as few casualties among the sisters as possible. After all, the weakened White Tower must be strengthened for the Light to have any chance in Tarmon Gai'don. In Andor, Elaina Trakand leads the fight for the throne that is rightfully hers, while traitors and friends of the Dark One surround her on all sides. If she falls, Andor will fall with her - and perhaps the Dragon Reborn himself. Rand al'Thor, with Nina's help, was able to cleanse Saidin of the pollution that was the work of the Dark One. However, the world still does not believe him. They hate him and fear him, because he is a man who can use the One Power, and they always go crazy and break the world... Now he has to gamble with his own life again - but he doesn't know who or if he can trust anymore, except Alivia, who at least he knows will help him die...
