Publisher's summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners 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.

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....

Critic reviews

"The Wheel of Time...is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." ( Chicago Sun-Times)
"Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil - but what strikes me as most pleasurable...is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." (Orson Scott Card on The Wheel of Time)

As good or maybe better than any in series

Sanderson exceeded my expectations. Outstanding character progression on many key characters. Got back to what I loved most about series, fun was funner, intense parts more edge of my seat.

Best wheel of time book

This is probably my favorite book in the series! I think Brandon Sanderson was able to capture the nature of the characters Robert Jordan created, but he made them feel more relatable and real than before.

Thank you ... Mrs. Jordan and Mr. Sanderson

Wow ... Mr. Robert Jordan's voice lives on through the pen of Mr. Sanderson. I missed Rand and Nynaeve and all the beloved characters of this series and was overjoyed to be reengaged with them again. If you are a fan of the Wheel of Time series the only disappointment to be had in this book is that it ends. I can hardly wait for the next book. I may have to restart the series. Thank you Mrs. Jordan for your willingness and trust to see your husbands work in this series finished and thank you Mr. Sanderson for your soft touch and artful writing.

Made it through the stall.

I loved most of the first seven books and then it a slow spot. I am glad I made it through because this book is great and I am half way through the next book and it's great.

Fantastic story

I think Brandon Sanderson did a very good job continuing the story. He did a fantastic job adapting the story and his writing style to make the story as good as if Robert Jordan had written it himself. I really enjoy the series. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY.

I can't imagine this book could be any better considering. Robert Jordan would be proud of it.

Best book so far!

Best book so far! Completely makes up for the ultra slowness of some of the previous books, and promising to get better!

what can i say

även om Rands reda i mörkret har varit intressant så har det gjort ont i magen jag är glad och tacksam att han öppnade sina ögon så tidigt. jag trodde det skulle dröja en bok till. episk bok och jag ser fram emot Rands resa.

shits going down!

The goosebumps i get the further i get in to the story and the unraveling of it all is awesome. somehow i feel sad knowing that im getting close to the end aswell. I wish the story would never end while still wanting an ending.
