Description
Now an Original Series on Prime Video — The Wheel of Time, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine.
The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a mysterious quest: to find the one prophesied to stand against the Dark One.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is may yet fall under the Shadow.
When a vicious band of half-men, half-beasts invades the Two Rivers searching for their master's enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to flee their village. What begins as a small escape becomes a journey across a vast and dangerous world filled with magic, darkness, and destiny.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions with its richly built world, deep characters, and sweeping narrative. The final six books in the 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.
