In _The Path of Daggers_, the eighth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, _The Wheel of Time_, Rand al'Thor engages in battle wearing the Crown of Swords and wielding Callandor against a force unprepared for the wrath of the Dragon Reborn.

The Seanchan invaders are heading for Illian—and Rand's army of Asha'man soldiers. When they meet in battle, some of the Asha'man are afflicted by madness, unable to control their channeling and unleashing raw power. The madness extends to Rand himself. He has been hearing the voice of a man believed to have been the previous Dragon Reborn.

Besieged by visions and debilitated whenever he uses the One Power, Rand chooses to attack the Seanchan with Callandor. The sword consumes him with a berserker rage, felling ally and enemy alike. And when he regains his senses, Rand finds himself less trusted by those who were once the most loyal.

Since its debut in 1990, _The Wheel of Time_ by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in the series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and _The Eye of the World_ was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's _The Great American Read_.
