Le Cor de Valère
Robert Jordan
Le Seigneur de l'Ombre a jadis voulu conquérir la Terre, mais les Aes Sedai, maîtresses du Pouvoir Unique, l'ont repoussé. Pour se venger, il a inspiré aux vainqueurs une folle meurtrière. Quant au Dragon qui guidait les Aes Sedai, on dit qu'un jour il renaîtra pour délivrer l'univers. En attendant, les serviteurs du Ténébreux abattent leurs cartes : un peu partout éclatent les rixes et les incendies. Sur les conseils de Moiraine, une Aes Sedai, Rand et ses compagnons, traqués par un cavalier sans visage, se mettent en route vers l'Œil du Monde, dont la surface limpide est source de " saidin ". Ils y trouvent la Bannière du Dragon et le Cor de Valère, dont le son - dit la légende - fera surgir de la tombe les héros du passé. Mais Rand osera-t-il souffler dans l'instrument magique ? Selon qu'il penchera - bon gré mal gré - vers la Lumière ou les Ténèbres, c'est une légion de héros... ou une armée de démons qu'il fera sortir des entrailles de la terre. Il se sait investi d'un pouvoir capable de tout anéantir et songe à fuir loin de ceux qu'il aime.

Proof, should he have required it, that the Dark One grows powerful once more and that his minions are at work throughout the lands.And yet it is within Canluum's walls that Lan will meet a woman who will shape his destiny. Moiraine is a young and powerful Aes Sedai who has journeyed to the city in search of a bondsman. She requires aid in a desperate quest to prove the truth of a vague and largely discredited prophecy - one that speaks of a means to turn back the shadow, and of a child who may be the dragon reborn.
