Lord of Chaos: Book 6 of the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan - Fiction - Paperback

Lord Of Chaos (Wheel of Time, Book 6) by Robert Jordan — BRAND NEW Paperback edition, a cornerstone of one of the most influential fantasy epics ever published. This is the sixth novel in the Wheel of Time series, a monumental journey that has shaped an entire genre and captivated millions of readers worldwide. In this installment, Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, fights to bind the nations of the world to his will, forge fragile alliances, and marshal the Light against the encroaching Shadow. The scope widens from personal prophecy to planetary-scale consequence as political intrigue, battlefield campaigns, and mythic power collide. Half the appeal lies in the intricate web of loyalties and betrayals—where the lines between friend and foe blur under the pressure of a looming Last Battle. At the same time, the White Tower hums with danger: Elaida’s snares tighten around the Dragon, while rebel Aes Sedai scheme to topple her. And beyond court intrigue, ancient forces—the Forsaken, immortal enemies of the Dragon—coalesce for a clash that will reverberate through time. This is epic fantasy on a grand, rattling scale: immersive, morally complex, and relentlessly propulsive.
