There aren't those ridiculous little idiosyncrasies with Aes Sedais anymore, like straightening one's skirt. The word breeches, which was usually used, was replaced with trousers. The way Min's voice was described is wrong. The way Rand's thoughts run just feels wrong. I had confusing feelings when starting this book. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower-and possibly the world itself. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward-wishing he could form at least a temporary truce with the invaders-his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself.Įgwene al'Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. In this epic novel, Robert Jordan's international bestselling series begins its dramatic conclusion. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, and now Stormlight Archive, among others, was chosen by Jordan's editor-his wife, Harriet McDougal-to complete the final volume, later expanded to three books. The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend.
