\n

The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One\u2019s prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unraveling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to boil out of the Blight.<\/p>\n

The sun has begun to set upon the Third Age.<\/p>\n

Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel\u2019aran\u2019rhiod and find a way\u2014at long last\u2014to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The creatures beyond the stone gateways\u2014the Aelfinn and the Eelfinn\u2014have confused him, taunted him, and left him hanged, his memory stuffed with bits and pieces of other men\u2019s lives. He had hoped that his last confrontation with them would be the end of it, but the Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills. The time is coming when he will again have to dance with the Snakes and the Foxes, playing a game that cannot be won. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Though he says it will be tight, Sanderson seems confident that he will meet the August deadline to complete the manuscript, ensuring Towers of Midnight<\/strong> will release on Octorber, 26, 2010<\/strong>. So, Wheel of Time<\/em> fans, getting excited yet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
