  <default_description>This prequel covers events that occur far before Book One of the Wheel of Time.  Expanded from a short story that first appeared in Robert Silverberg's anthology &lt;u&gt;Legends&lt;/u&gt; (1998) - Robert Jordan follows Moiraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche   before they were Aes Sedai.  As young Accepted, they happen to be on hand when the foretelling of the birth of the Dragon occurs.  &amp; the rest is pure Robert Jordan history.</default_description>

I actually stayed up late and kept reading until I was done; something I haven't done since book 3 or 4. The next chapter, Knife of Dreams (Wheel of Time, Book 11), had the same effect on me.
