Ve světě Světla a Stínu vede dobro a zlo věčný boj. Je to svět Kola času, největšího fantasy eposu, jaký kdy kdo napsal. Mat Cauthon, prchající z Ebú Daru s unesenou Dcerou Devíti měsíců, zjišťuje, že si ji nemůže nechat u sebe, ani ji nechat jít, poněvadž je pronásleduje Stín i Seančanská říše. Egwain z al‘Vereů obléhá Bílou věž v Tar Valonu. Musí vyhrát rychle a s co nejmenším krveprolitím, protože pokud se Aes Sedai nespojí, budou moci svět před Temným bránit pouze aša‘mani. Mezitím musí Rand al‘Thor znovu vsadit vše do hry, v níž je v sázce on sám – aniž by věděl, kdo jsou jeho skuteční spojenci a kdo nepřátelé.

Cimmeřana pronásleduje překrásná a smyslná šlechtična Vyndra a ohrožuje černý mág Naipal, ale ten nejhroznější nepřítel ho teprve čeká. Jsou to Sivániové, démoničtí strážci hrobky dávno mrtvých vendhyjských králů, Aby přežil, musí být Conan opravdu vítězný.

Rand al’Thor, Drak Znovuzrozený, usiluje před Poslední bitvou o sjednocení roztříštěné sítě království a uzavřených aliancí. Zatímco se snaží zastavit postup Seančanů mířících na sever – a přitom si přeje, aby s vetřelci dokázal uzavřít alespoň dočasné příměří – jeho spojenci s hrůzou sledují stín, který narůstá v srdci samotného Draka Znovuzrozeného. Egwain al‘Vere, amyrlinin stolec vzbouřených Aes Sedai, je zajatkyní v Bílé věži a objektem rozmarů její tyranské vůdkyně. Zatímco vše směřuje k seančanskému útoku, o jehož bezprostřední hrozbě ví, snaží se Egwain spojit nesourodé frakce Aes Sedai a poskytnout jim vedení tváří v tvář narůstající nejistotě a zoufalství. Její boj prokáže odvahu Aes Sedai a rozhodne o budoucnosti Bílé věže – a možná i samotného světa.

Nejdřív však musí vyjednat příměří se seančanskými armádami. Seančané ale nejsou jedinou překážkou na jeho cestě. Perrin ze zoufalství uzavřel se Seančany vlastní příměří – dohodl by se i s Temným, aby zachránil svou manželku Faile před Šaidy. Mezitím Mat bezhlavě prchá z Ebú Daru s unesenou Dcerou Devíti měsíců. Ovšem Tuon ve skutečnosti hrozí od jejích seančanských krajanů smrtelné nebezpečí. Mat bude muset hodně riskovat, aby uspěl a získal ji za ženu. Zavedené pořádky se otřásají a všude panuje neklid. V Caemlynu bojuje Elain o Lví trůn, přičemž se snaží zabránit občanské válce, a Egwain zjišťuje, že bezpečno už není ani v Bílé věži. Větry času přerostly ve vichřice, jež Randa a jeho společníky strhávají svou silou. Společně musí přestát zkoušky osudu a štěstěny – jinak Temný zvítězí a svět bude ztracen

Robert Jordan přichází s novým titulem Oko světa. Kolo času se otáčí a věky přicházejí a odcházejí, zanechávajíce za sebou vzpomínky, jež se mění v pověsti. Pověsti blednou v mýty a dokonce i mýty jsou dávno zapomenuty, když se věk, jež se zrodil, vrátí. Ve třetím věku, věku proroctví, jsou svět a čas v rovnováze. Co bude i co je by mohlo padnout do rukou Stínu.
