From The Two Rivers

For Rand al'Thor, life in Emond's Field has been pretty dull until the appearance of Moiraine, an Aes Sedai — a magician who can wield the One Power.

Soon after, the village is attacked by Trollocs and, according to Moiraine, Rand is the target. He and his friends are forced to flee, and his escape will bring him face to face with the Dark One, the most powerful force of evil in the universe.
