Ages come and go, the Wheel of Time spins, and legends are born out of the memories they leave behind. Myth becomes legend, and legend itself is long gone when the Age that gave rise to it reappears. The World and Time itself are in jeopardy in the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy. The Shadow still has the power to cover what was, what is, and what will be.
The Last Battle, Tarmon Gai'don, looms. Humanity is also not prepared.
Robert Jordan wrote a portion of the last Wheel of Time book, A Memory of Light, before to his unexpected death in 2007. Jordan's editor, Harriet McDougal, recruited Brandon Sanderson, the New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series and the recently released Stormlight Archive, among other works, to finish the last volume, which was eventually extended to three volumes.
Robert Jordan's worldwide popular series reaches its dramatic end in this epic tale. In the run-up to the Last Battle, Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, battles to bring a disjointed network of alliances and kingdoms together. His friends watch in fear as he tries to stop the Seanchan invasion by moving north, hoping to at least negotiate a brief ceasefire with the invaders. A darkness seems to be developing within the Dragon Reborn's own heart.
The rebel Aes Sedai's Amyrlin Seat, Egwene al'Vere, is imprisoned in the White Tower and at the mercy of their despotic commander. As the days get closer to the Seanchan onslaught that she knows is coming, Egwene strives to maintain unity among the many Aes Sedai groups while offering guidance amid growing doubt and hopelessness. Her battle will test the Aes Sedai's will, and it will determine the fate of the White Tower and maybe the whole world.
