Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.
In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?
In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.
In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.
In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.
Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn...

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
True to the title of the book, the Shadow is rising. Danger lurks at every step as Rand tries to keep one step ahead of his enemies and do the unexpected. Elayne and Nynaeve are off to Tanchico in search of the eleven remaining Black Ajah members and something awful that will harm Rand if the Shadow gets hold of it. Egwene comes across an Aiel Dreamwalker and is told to come to the Waste for training. Mat seeks a way out of the Stone of Tear but he seems to always find an excuse to remain there. Perrin, on the other hand, is resigned to being at Rand's side, but searches for a way to send Faile away from him where she'll be safe. Moiraine must find a way to get Rand to trust her so she can guide him. And Min re-enters the White Tower as Elmindreda in order to assist the Amyrlin in hunting the Black Ajah.
Amidst bubbles of evil that strike at random, especially at the three ta'veren, putting them and their companions at risk. After an attack of Trollocs in the Stone itself, Rand decides it is time to head out of the Stone and surprise his enemies. Perrin hears rumors of Whitecloaks in the Two Rivers and heads home to see what he can do about it. After a trip through a ter'angreal doorway, Rand is decided on what his course of action must be. Mat and Moiraine also stepped through the doorway and learned things that must be as well.
Rand definitely does the unexpected and whisks the Aiel off to Rhuidean to fulfill prophecy. Even there his enemies wait. Will he fall victim to their trap? Or will they fall victim to his?
Next up: The Fires of Heaven.
