    Fervono i preparativi per la festa di primavera, nella regione dei Fiumi Gemelli, e il giovane Rand al'Thor è ansioso di lasciarsi alle spalle un anno difficile, pieno di cattivi presagi. Alcuni stranieri si aggirano per il villaggio di Emond's Field, e non si parla d'altro: un'elegante dama accompagnata da un gelido cavaliere, misteriose figure a cavallo che spariscono nel nulla, un menestrello ansioso di cantare epiche gesta. Sono giunte notizie di una guerra in remote contrade e dell'ascesa di un falso Drago, la cui venuta, temuta e annunciata, porterà una nuova Frattura nel mondo. E il Male si addensa: creature malvagie e leggendarie, i bestiali Trolloc assetati di sangue, si sono scatenati nella caccia a un ragazzo che il Tenebroso sembra temere, e che vuole in ogni modo asservire... Nulla sarà più come prima, nel Disegno delle Epoche tessuto dalla Ruota del Tempo: un mondo inquieto e sgomento si appresta a essere di nuovo preda dell'ombra.

    Nel corso dei secoli i menestrelli hanno cantato la storia del Corno di Valere, capace di ridestare dal sonno eterno gli eroi dell'Epoca Leggendaria. Ora il Corno è stato ritrovato, solo per essere di nuovo smarrito assieme al pugnale di Shadar Logoth, da cui dipende la vita di Mat, il fedele amico di Rand al'Thor. E da Rand dipende l'impresa colossale del ritrovamento del Corno, dal coraggio di un giovane pastore consapevole che affrontare la Caccia vuol dire tessere un destino che mai si vorrebbe veder realizzato. La Grande Caccia al Corno di Valere è solo l'inizio di un lungo viaggio di scoperta, mentre la Ruota del Tempo gira e le Epoche si susseguono, e il Disegno esige un Drago.
