A 2023 Audie Award winner for Best Female Narrator!

"Rosamund Pike brings a fresh narration to the first book in the beloved Wheel of Time series. At 33 hours, this audiobook is no small undertaking, but Pike's impressive performance leaves listeners wanting more."—AudioFile (Earphones Award winner)

“Through her smooth, dramatic performance, award-winning actor Rosamund Pike amplifies the new audiobook of book one in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.”—BookPage

A #1 New York Times bestselling audiobook!

The Wheel of Time is an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

This program is read by narrator Rosamund Pike, star of the hit Prime Video original series.

The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of fans around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

“Anyone who’s writing epic or 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

I tried the original recordings and struggled so badly, I thought (when starting this one years later) I'd made it through 3-4 of the original books. Only to realise, it was all just book 1.

Please!!! Narrate the rest Rosamund!!

She tells the story effortlessly and draws you in.

DO THE NEXT ONE!!!

I loved book 1 was simply, quite amazing and loved storytelling by Rosamund Pike was fantastic 👏.
Very much enjoyed Robert Jordan’s writing. Felt it had a similar feel to Tolkien if not better ?!!

Pike's performance is great. A vast improvement on earlier versions. She makes the characters easily distinguishable and is well paced. So glad I can enjoy the story again as an audio book!

Great new edition!

Rosmund Pike delivers a fantastic performance of this amazing book and truly brings the story to life. I hope she is booked to narrate the other 13 stories in WOT story arc.

Previous audio narrator of the WOT is horrible and I can’t listen to it at all!

Fantastic!
