Wheel of Time Book 6: Lord of Chaos

Lord of Chaos consists of a prologue, 55 chapters, and an epilogue. It is the first book of the Wheel of Time to have an epilogue, and one of only four, the others being New Spring, Crossroads of Twilight, and Knife of Dreams.

The Dark One has apparently decreed that the "Lord of Chaos" shall be named Nae'blis, and so the Forsaken vie with each other for the honor.

The deposed Queen of Andor, Morgase Trakand, goes to Amadicia to seek the aid of the Lord Captain Commander of the Children of the Light, Pedron Niall, in returning her to her former throne.

In response to the declaration of amnesty for men who can channel by Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, Mazrim Taim, a False Dragon, swears allegiance to him. Rand has Mazrim Taim lead and train the newly-established Asha'man at the Black Tower.

Rand is diplomatically courted by both the rebel Aes Sedai in Salidar, who send an embassy to Caemlyn, and the Aes Sedai of the White Tower, who send an embassy to Cairhien.

In Emond's Field, Perrin Aybara, making his return to the series after his absence in the previous book, feels the pull of ta'veren upon ta'veren and heads to Caemlyn to join Rand.

Wrongly thinking the Salidar Aes Sedai few in number and cowed, Rand sends Mat Cauthon to retrieve Elayne Trakand and win the allegiance of the rebel Aes Sedai. Mat discovers that Egwene al'Vere has been named the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, and when she sends Nynaeve al'Meara and Elayne to Ebou Dar in Altara to search for a ter'angreal with which to break the Dark One's control of the climate, Mat goes with them.

Shortly after Perrin joins up with him, Rand is kidnapped by Elaida's Aes Sedai, who begin journeying back to Tar Valon. Learning of the kidnapping, Perrin leads a mixed force of Rand's followers after the Aes Sedai, leading to the climactic Battle of Dumai's Wells. At the end of the battle, Aes Sedai swear fealty to the Dragon Reborn.
