Ny sammanfattning av Crossroads of Twiligth :

Nyligen så skall QBD Bookstore (En australisk bokförsäljare) ha skrivit följande sammanfattning på sin webbplats för Crossroads of Twilight, den 10:e och kommande boken i The Wheel of Time:

"Since the publication of 'The Eye Of The World', Robert Jordan's 'The Wheel Of Time' has become an international No.1 bestseller and one of the most popular fantasy epics of all time. Now, 'The Wheel Of Time' turns again, and the remarkable tale that is mesmerising an entire generation of readers continues.
The Time of Illusions is at an end . . .

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, has torn the corruption from Saidin, the Male Half of the True Source. Now, free of the taint, the Dragon and his Asha'man followers can draw on the One Power without fear that it will drive them to madness and death.

And with that power Rand al'Thor will build an alliance of all the free peoples of the world. An alliance that will unite Aiel with Aes Sedai, the Seanchan with the Sea Folk. An alliance that will stand in the storm of the Shadow.

And when he is ready the Dragon will gather that strength - and strike at the heart of the Dark One."

Denna sammanfattning har senare visat sig vara Orbit's egen sammanfattning, och användes alltså endast av QBD Bookstore, som säljer Orbit böckerna.


Den officiella sammanfattningen från Tor Books har ni säkert läst, men där sammanfattas handlingen för Crossroads of Twilight på följande vis:

"In the tenth book of the Wheel of Time, from the New York Times #1 bestselling author Robert Jordan, the world and the characters stand at a crossroads, and the world approaches twilight, when the power of the shadow grows stronger.
Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit.

Perrin Aybara seeks to free his wife, Faile, a captive of the Shaido, but his only hope may be an alliance with the enemy. Can he remain true to his friend Rand, and to himself? For his love of Faile, Perrin is willing to sell his soul.

At Tar Valon, Egwene Al'Vere, the young Amyrlin of the rebel Aes Sedai, lays siege to the heart of Aes Sedai power, but she must win quickly, with as little bloodshed as possible, for unless the Aes Sedai are reunited, only the male Asha'man will remain to defend the world against the Dark One, and nothing can hold the Asha'man themselves back from total power except the Aes Sedai and a unified White Tower.

In Andor, Elayne Trakand fights for the Lion Throne that is hers by right, but enemies and Darkfriends surround her, plotting her destruction. If she fails, Andor may fall to the Shadow, and the Dragon Reborn with it.

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared - even one prophesied to save the world. Now Rand must gamble again, with himself at stake, and he cannot be sure which of his allies are really enemies."


Kommentar:
Vilken sammanfattning man föredrar får man ju själv avgöra, men QBD Bookstore's egen sammanfattning kändes något friskare, men med något mindre information om vilka karaktärer som skall vara med i boken.
