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.
