    Summary

    Several centuries after the Last Battle, the White Tower stands taller than ever—rebuilt, restructured, and reeling from new threats that no one dares name aloud. Saidin has returned, cleansed and chaotic, and the Hall of the Tower seeks control more than balance. When Stiles—a powerful male channeler raised to Aes Sedai—survives a narrow vote in the Hall for flouting Tower law and custom, he’s spared gentling… but not punishment.

    Bound without consent to Sitters from opposing Ajahs, declared the first Striker since the Age of Legends, Stiles finds himself weaponized by a Tower that fears what it cannot command. But Stiles is not their dog to tame, and the Tower is not as united as it pretends to be. As ancient tensions simmer and forgotten enemies stir, bonds—both sacred and profane—will be tested.

    This is not the story of the Dragon. This is what comes after.

    Power without trust. Bonds without love. And one man who will burn down the Pattern before letting them leash him again.

    Note: There will be some AI-generated art for an important moment from each chapter at the end of each chapter.
