Plot Summary of Lord of Chaos - Wheel of Time 6
"The sixth book in a series, the LORD OF CHAOS continues the saga of Rand al'Thor and his attempt to unite the world for the final battle, Tarmon Gai'don, against the Dark One and his minions. As his allies increase, so do his enemies. The book ends with near miss that could have given the victory to the dark side, had Rand's friends not been there to save him. "
Monica, Resident Scholar

"Rand Al'Thor is a former farmer, and is now fateful "savior", known as the Dragon Reborn. Rand battles a evil being known as the Dark One, or Shait'an, and is faced with the immense task of uniting the warring noble factions under his control.
Along with three loyal friends, Mat, Loial, and Perrin he faces female mages, assasins, and betrayals at every corner."

Emerson K, Resident Scholar
