Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan is the tense and intricate tenth instalment in the legendary Wheel of Time series, one of the most enduring and bestselling fantasy sagas of all time. Set in a world on the brink of destruction, this novel sees key characters standing at critical turning points as the power of the Shadow grows stronger and the long-awaited Last Battle draws near. Jordan’s richly layered storytelling and vast cast of characters continue to drive the epic narrative forward, deepening the complexity of the series’ interwoven plotlines.
In this chapter, Mat Cauthon flees Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, facing relentless pursuit by both the Seanchan Empire and the agents of the Shadow. Meanwhile, Perrin Aybara’s desperate quest to rescue his wife, Faile, forces him to consider a dangerous alliance with those he despises. At Tar Valon, Egwene al’Vere lays siege to the White Tower, striving to reunite the divided Aes Sedai before the male Asha’man grow too powerful to contain. In Andor, Elayne Trakand battles for her rightful crown amidst assassins and Darkfriends, while Rand al’Thor — having cleansed saidin of the Dark One’s taint — faces new political threats, uncertain of who among his allies can truly be trusted.
