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)

next level character development

Still my all time favourite fantasy series, the scope of the story, depth of character development and world building is unmatched in my opinion.
Rand's struggle with the madness of the taint is so well portrayed it blows my mind with how well done it was

Sanderson rises to the Challenge

Sanderson does a phenomenal job writing a gripping start to the conclusion of the franchise. I'm sure Robert Jordan would be proud.

Missing chapters

The chapters when morgases identity is revealed and marriage are not there. Perryns trial is also missing. This makes me wonder what other things have been missed by audible in books I have purchased.

Amazing

Engaging from start to finish. Got strong emotions out of me a few times. Solid character development that keeps you on your toes trying to get more and more of it. If this was a physical copy, I would not have put it down.
