About this book

Soon to be an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

The first novel in Robert Jordan's #1New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of TimeÂ®.

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.

Moiraine Damodred arrives in Emond’s Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One, a malicious entity sowing the seeds of chaos and destruction. When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the village 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 TimeÂ® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.
