Knife of Dreams:
The previous book in Jordan's massive Wheel of Time, Crossroads of Twilight, may have come
out in 2003, but don't let that fool you; the 11th tome in this epic fantasy is the one
Jordan fans have been eagerly waiting for the better part of a decade. The breakneck pace,
lyrical beauty and astonishing scope of the early Wheel of Time volumes established Jordan
as one of the top writers in the Tolkien tradition. While more recent entries have
maintained that beauty and scope, the pace has slowed to a crawl as the central characters
dispersed in six directions. In contrast, the latest explodes with motion, as multiple plot
lines either conclude or advance, and the march to Tarmon Gai'don.the climactic last battle
between the Dragon Reborn and the Dark One.begins in earnest. Faile's captivity with the
Shaido, Mat's pursuit of Tuon and Elayne's war for Caemlyn come to a close, while Egwene's
capture brings the Aes Sedai war to the heart of the Tower. Jordan has said that readers
will be sweating by the end of the book, and he's probably right. Sweating or not, they'll
also be dreading the long year or two before the 12th installment

The Gathering Storm:
Tarmon Gai.don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.
The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert
Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling
author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan.s editor - his wife, Harriet McDougal -
to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be
contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presents The Gathering Storm as the first
of three novels that will make up A Memory of Light. This short sequence will complete the
struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago
and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era.

In this epic novel, Robert Jordan.s international bestselling series begins its dramatic
conclusion. Rand al.Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of
kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. 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.

Egwene 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. 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.
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.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.
