La vida de Rand Al'Thor y sus amigos en Campo de Emond ha resultado bastante monótona hasta que una joven misteriosa llega al pueblo. Moraine, una maga capaz de encauzar el Poder Único, anuncia el despertar de una terrible amenaza. Esa misma noche, el pueblo se ve atacado por espantosos trollocs sedientos de sangre, unas bestias semihumanas que hasta entonces se habían considerado una leyenda. Mientras Campo de Emond soporta la ofensiva, Moraine y su guardián ayudan a Rand y a sus amigos a escapar. .
Robert Wise, the young editor of Citizen Kane, earned his directorial stripes at RKO, particularly with The Body Snatcher and The Set-Up, films of amazing quality and dark sensibility.? Wise later found himself at Warner Brothers, MGM, and 20th Century Fox, consistently directing pictures of depth and versatility.? The man behind the searing crime film, Odds Against Tomorrow, followed such success with the upbeat West Side Story.? Wise guided the great, multi-character drama of Executive Suite and also turned his attention to warfare with The Sand Pebbles.? He was the personification of the finest, old style ?studio director? and ultimately became a two-time winner of the Academy Award for Best Director.? Wise not only made films his way, he made them the right way, directing classics such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Sound of Music, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.? Joe Jordan?s book, which includes over twenty interviews, presents a studious, solemn analysis of the complete Robert Wise canon.

Rand se esfuerza por unir a las naciones para combatir al Oscuro al tiempo que sortea las trampas que los Renegados tienden a la desprevenida raza humana. Pero además tiene que enfrentarse a los Hijos de la Luz, cuyo capitán general se propone desprestigiarlo y dirigir la batalla contra la Sombra. Por su parte, las Aes Sedai buscan a Rand para ofrecerle su apoyo, aunque éste sospecha que su verdadera intención es usarlo para sus propios fines.
