The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. For centuries, gleemen have told of The Great Hunt of the Horn.

Another volume in a saga that stretches far into the distance. While the concept is good, and much of the delivery polished, I found this second volume to be very much more of the same. I'm undecided about continuing the series, but I've been told that the third volume broadens the narrative to bring other characters etc. Maybe. ( )
¡Rand ha sobrevivido a su primer enfrentamiento con los perversos seguidores del Oscuro, pero ni sus amigos ni él están a salvo, ya que el señor del mal ha liberado a los Renegados, mientras los héroes de todas las eras se levantan de la tumba cuando el Cuerno de Valere los saca de su sueño. Al verse obligado a enfrentarse a las fuerzas de la oscuridad, Rand decide escapar de su destino. Pero la profecía tiene que cumplirse.
This is second book in the series, the path and flow are better than the first one since some of the characters are build in the first book. The story telling is also better. ( )

And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man. Women shall weep and men quail as the nations of the earth are rent like rotting cloth. Neither shall anything stand nor abide... Yet one shall be born to face the Shadow, born once more as he was born before and shall be born again, time without end. The Dragon shall be Reborn, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth at his rebirth. In sackcloth and ashes shall he clothe the people, and he shall break the world again by his coming, tearing apart all ties that bind. Like the unfettered dawn shall he blind us, and burn us, yet shall the Dragon Reborn confront the Shadow at the Last Battle, and his blood shall give us the Light. Let tears flow, O ye people of the world. Weep for your salvation.
--From The Karaethon Cycles: The Prophecies of the Dragon,
as translated by Ellaine Marise'idin Alshinn, Chief Librarian at the Court of Arafel, in the Year of Grace 231 of the New Era, the Third Age
And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the Prophecies, as he was in Ages past and will be in Ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
--from Caral Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon, Author unknown, the Fourth Age

The man who called himself Bors, at least in this place, sneered at the low murmuring that rolled around the vaulted chamber like the soft gabble of geese.
