Soon to be a major Amazon Prime TV series

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

The Gathering Storm continues the monumental journey set forth by Robert Jordan and brings us closer to the much-anticipated climax of Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle. In a world where darkness looms ever closer, humanity must unite to face its greatest threat.

Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn, faces immense pressure as he strives to unify a network of fractured kingdoms and alliances, preparing them for the Last Battle. However, as his power grows, so too does a sinister shadow within him, causing his closest allies to fear for his stability and the fate of the world should he succumb.

Meanwhile, Egwene al'Vere, held captive by the White Tower, contends with the autocratic Amyrlin Seat. As the days tick closer to an expected Seanchan assault, Egwene works tirelessly to rally the divided Aes Sedai. Her resolve and strategies may be the key not only to the Tower's future but possibly to the stability of the entire world.
