Yes it is a fictional Story but one of the best written Stories to Date...This is from the series "Wheel of Time" which "Robert Jordan" wrote and is an excellent Reading experience...I just got Book ten and I must say that I am still looking for 8 and 9 but I couldnt wait and started to read...Same stuff still going on as in Path of Daggers?Seachan still there...Rand must be slipping...
