About this ebook

Now a major TV series on Prime Video

The eleventh novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.

As the very fabric of reality wears thin, all portents indicate that Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is imminent - and Rand al'Thor must ready himself to confront the Dark One. But Rand must first negotiate a truce with the Seanchan armies, as their forces increasingly sap his strength.

All is in flux as established powers falter . . . In Caemlyn, Elayne fights to gain the Lion Throne while trying to avert civil war and Egwene finds that even the White Tower is no longer a place of safety.

The winds of time have whirled into a storm, and Rand and his companions ride in the vortex. This small company must prevail against the trials of fate and fortune - or the Dark One will triumph and the world will be lost.

Ratings and reviews

I started reading the Wheel of Time close to 20 years ago. I never finished the series or made it to Knife of Dreams. About last year, I decided that I would give it a shot and start from the beginning. I am glad I did. I forgot how great the first half of the series was. Winter's Heart and Cross Roads of Twilight were difficult and took longer to get through. I almost gave up. Knife of Dreams was brilliant so much happened in this book it reminded me of the earlier books in the series. Robert Jordan's world is large, complex and has alot of characters. I am happy and sad that this was his last book in the series. Happy that is was an entertaining read and sad that it was his last book. I look forward to reading the final books by Brandon Sanderson and hope that he gives the series a good ending.

Great strides taken in this with regards to plot and all is starting to fall into place for the Last Battle. Ooooo!

Have not been able to put it down
