Knife of Dreams

Signs of the Last Battle spread: the dead walk and the world seems to tear. Galad kills Eamon Valda and takes over the Whitecloaks. Perrin defeats the Shaido with Seanchan help and rescues Faile, and Sevanna is captured. Mat marries Tuon, who returns to Ebou Dar to lead the Seanchan. Elayne becomes Queen of Andor. Egwene, a prisoner in the White Tower, undermines Elaida from within. Rand faces a Trolloc army, and Lews Therin seizes saidin from him for a moment. At a meeting with Tuon, Rand unmasks the disguised Forsaken Semirhage and loses his left hand. Lan rides for the Borderlands, and Nynaeve rallies his people along the way.
