Mat Cauthon and the Bloody Boxes of Orden

Mat Cauthon, ta'veren, gambler, and reluctant general, should have known better than to mess with strange portals-especially after the events on the Stone of Tear. But when a newly discovered ter'angreal is activated (thanks to his bloody luck), Mat and a handful of his Band of the Red Hand find themselves ripped from the Pattern and dumped into a world where the Dragon Reborn doesn't exist, but a man called Lord Rahl holds magic that feels dangerously close to Saidin.

To make matters worse, they've landed right in the middle of a war between D'Hara and the Imperial Order, and someone-probably a Forsaken, because of course-wants to use Mat's luck to claim the Boxes of Orden. Mat doesn't know what the bloody things are, only that people keep trying to kill him or steal him over them.

And then there's the other problem: the Mord-Sith.
