The wheel of time. New spring

In a city near the Blight, Al'Lan Mandragoran, the exiled king of Malkier and a master swordsman, arrives in Canluum, a supposed refuge from the Dark One's influence. However, he finds a place filled with rumors and the presence of Shadowspawn, indicating the Dark One's growing power. Within Canluum, Lan encounters Moiraine, a young and formidable Aes Sedai seeking a bondsman for her urgent quest. She aims to validate a discredited prophecy that hints at a way to combat the encroaching darkness and speaks of a child who may be the dragon reborn. Their meeting will alter the course of Lan's life and set the stage for a battle against the shadow that threatens their world. The narrative unfolds in a richly woven tapestry of destiny, power, and the struggle between light and dark, capturing the essence of epic fantasy.
