The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time Book 1)

Imagine a cozy village where kids like Rand, Mat, and Perrin live happily until scary monsters called Trollocs attack on festival night! A magical lady named Moiraine, who can do wizard spells with the One Power, says one of them is super special to fight the big bad Dark One, so she takes them on a wild adventure through forests, cities, and spooky places to find a hidden magic pool that can help save the world from evil.

In the pastoral village of Emond's Field in the Two Rivers, the story of 'The Eye of the World' begins with the arrival of the enigmatic Aes Sedai Moiraine Damodred and her Warder Lan Mandragoran, heralding an ancient prophecy's fulfillment. As monstrous Trollocs and the eyeless Myrddraal descend upon the village during the Bel Tine festival, young Rand al'Thor, his friends Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, along with Egwene al'Vere and the Wisdom Nynaeve al'Meara, are thrust into a desperate flight. Guided by Moiraine's command of the One Power, they evade the Shadowspawn while unraveling hints of Rand's hidden lineage and the cyclical nature of time governed by the Wheel of Time. Their perilous journey leads through the haunted ruins of Shadar Logoth, the bustling city of Caemlyn, and into the foreboding Mountains of Mist toward the legendary Eye of the World—a hidden pool of pure saidin created by long-dead Aes Sedai to safeguard against the Dark One. Confrontations with false Dragons like Logain, corrupted by the tainted male half of the One Power, and betrayals among allies test their bonds. Culminating at the Eye, Rand faces Ishamael, a Forsaken, in a battle revealing his destiny as the Dragon Reborn, setting the stage for an epic struggle between Light and Shadow across Ages.
