The Eye of the World. The Wheel of Time #1 - Robert Jordan

The Eye of the World is the 1st book in The Wheel of Time Series. The Wheel of Times turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, and Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
