The Wheel of Time
is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Shadow Rising, the fourth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor now wields the sword Callandor. He is both the Champion of Light and the Dragon Reborn. Now, he seeks answers to another prophecy that lies with the warrior people known as the Aiel to put him on the path of learning how to wield the One Power.


Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean. After passing through a doorframe ter'angreal, Moiraine gains foresight while the Aiel await Rand's return, either with both arms marked by dragon symbols, validating his identity as He Who Comes With the Dawn, the Chief of Chiefs of all the Aiel—or to never emerge at all.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Critic Reviews

“Large and splendid. The saga reaches a new level of emotional impact.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“Fast and absorbing...will keep the reader...entranced.” —Publishers Weekly

“An exciting, well-written adventure, Jordan offers distinctive heroes and themes, including an interesting look at relations between the sexes.” —Milwaukee Sentinel

“A complex tapestry of fascinating characters, descriptive details and events. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves epic fantasy.” —Carol Lynn Ukockis, Galactic Dispatch

“Robert Jordan writes with the stark vision of light and darkness, and sometimes childish sense of wonder, that permeates J.R.R. Tolkien's work. His style is undebatably his own.” —The Pittsburgh Press

“From start to finish, the narrators are fresh and engaged as they draw out the story's humor and suspense.” —AudioFile

The story itself is incredible but honestly, the way Rosamund Pike has narrated it is incredible. She has brought each character to life, the story comes alive the way she tells it. The attention to detail - each accent, mannerisms, has been kept consistent. I wish she’d have completed all the books.
