by Robert Jordan
The Fires of Heaven (The Wheel of Time #5) by Robert Jordan
★ 7.54 / 228

In this sequel to the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Shadow Rising, Robert Jordan again plunges us into his extraordinarily rich, totally unforgettable world:

...Into the forbidden city of Rhuidean, where Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn, must conceal his present endeavor from all about him, even Egwene and Moiraine.

...Into the Amyrlin's study in the White Tower, where the Amyrlin, Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, is weaving new plans.

...Into Andor, where Siuan Sanche and her companions, including the false Dragon Logain, have been arrested for barn-burning.

...Into the luxurious hidden chamber where the Forsaken Rahvin is meeting with three of his fellows to ensure their ultimate victory over the Dragon.

...Into the Queen's court in Caemlyn, where Morgase is curiously in thrall to the handsome Lord Gaebril.

For once the Dragon walks the land, the fires of Heaven fall where they will, until all men's lives are ablaze.

And in Shayol Ghul, the Dark One stirs...

A history buff, he also wrote dance and theater criticism. He enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.

Robert Jordan had said that his pen names had all been chosen from three lists of names using his real initials, and that one of his pen names managed to contain all three of his initials in both the first name and the surname.

On March 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with primary amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, and that, with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him.
