Overview

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready. The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, and now the Stormlight Archive, among others, was chosen by Jordan's editor--his wife, Harriet McDougal--to complete the final volume, later expanded to three books. In this epic novel, Robert Jordan's international bestselling series begins its dramatic conclusion. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward--wishing he could form at least a temporary truce with the invaders--his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself. Egwene al'Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower--and possibly the world itself.

Praise for Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time(R) His huge, ambitious Wheel of Time series helped redefine the genre. --George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones Anyone who's writing epic of secondary world fantasy knows Robert Jordan isn't just a part of the landscape, he's a monolith within the landscape. --Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle series The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.) --Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series Robert Jordan's work has been a formative influence and an inspiration for a generation of fantasy writers. --Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows Jordan's writing is so amazing! The characterization, the attention to detail! --Clint McElroy, co-creator of the #1 podcast The Adventure Zone [Robert Jordan's] impact on the place of fantasy in the culture is colossal... He brought innumerable readers to fantasy. He became the New York Times bestseller list face of fantasy. --Guy Gavriel Kay, author of A Brightness Long Ago Robert Jordan was a giant of fiction whose words helped a whole generation of fantasy writers, including myself, find our true voices. I thanked him then, but I didn't thank him enough. --Peter V. Brett, internationally bestselling author of The Demon Cycle series I don't know anybody who's been as formative in crafting me as a writer as [Robert Jordan], and for that I will be forever grateful. --Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby and War Girls I've mostly never been involved in any particular fandom, the one exception of course was The Wheel of Time. --Marie Brennan, author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent series I owe Robert Jordan so much. Without him, modern fantasy would be bereft of the expansive, deep worlds and the giant casts which I love so dearly. It's not often I can look at another author and say: that person paved my way. But such is exactly the case with Jordan. --Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings You can't talk about epic fantasy without acknowledging the titanic influence Robert Jordan has had on the grenre. --Jason Denzel, author of Mystic and founder of Dragonmount.com Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal. --The New York Times The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English. --Chicago Sun-Times Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time. --San Francisco Book Review The most ambitious American fantasy saga [may] also be the finest. Rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended. --Booklist Recalls the work of Tolkien. --Publishers Weekly This richly detailed fantasy presents fully realized, complex adventure. Recommended. --Library Journal Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal. --The New York Times Jordan is able to take ... familiar elements and make them his own, in a powerful novel of wide and complex scope. Open religious and political conflicts add a gritty realism, while the cities and courts provide plenty of drama and splendor. Women have a stronger role than in Tolkien.... Each character in this large cast remains distinct.... Their adventures are varied, and exciting.... The Eye of the World stands alone as a fantasy epic. --Locus Robert Jordan has created a fantasy world as tangible and credible as history. He has a fine eye for detail and a vivid sense of drama. --Morgan Llewelyn Robert Jordan's The Eye of the World proves that there's still plenty of life in the ancient tradition of epic fantasy. Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil-- but what strikes me as most pleasurable about The Eye of the World is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world. --Orson Scott Card Jordan's world is rich in detail and his plot is rich in incident. Impressive work, and highly recommended. --ALA Booklist
