The Wheel of Time Book 1. The Eye of the World Robert Jordan

What is the Wheel of Time? Imagine a huge spinning wheel as big as the cosmos, with a seven-spoke wheel that, slowly turning, weaves the fabric of the universe. It creates from lives and events the Great Pattern, which is the past, present and future of the world. And as long as the Wheel turns, there is no end to the weaving, and even death is not final...

The Wheel has turned, and the ancient prophecies of the coming of Morok have come to life. The black shadow of the Father of Lies has hung over the world, and first of all over its tiny part - the humus-covered village of Emond's Meadow. And none of the inhabitants of this land even suspect that one of them is the chosen one. At least, so the prophecy claims. And prophecies in this world always come true.
