The Eye of the World
by Robert Jordan
The first book in Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time fantasy series follows Rand al'Thor, a young farmer who discovers he may be the prophesied Dragon Reborn destined to save or destroy the world. Along with his friends Mat, Perrin, Egwene, and Nynaeve, Rand flees their village when it's attacked by terrifying Trollocs and embarks on a perilous journey guided by the mysterious Aes Sedai Moiraine. The story features a richly diverse world with various cultures and peoples, strong female characters in positions of power, and explores themes of destiny, friendship, sacrifice, and the burden of power. This YA crossover edition makes Jordan's complex world-building and epic fantasy more accessible to younger readers while maintaining the original's scope and depth.
