Robert Jordan
Robert Jordan, the legendary author behind The Wheel of Time series, crafted one of the most intricate and expansive fantasy universes ever to grace the genre. Born James Oliver Rigney Jr. in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1948, his early life seemed far removed from the epic world-building and mysticism that would later define his literary career. His love for storytelling, however, began early, nurtured by his voracious reading habits and an interest in history and mythology.
The Wheel of Time
Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time is a story that takes place both in our past and our future. In his fantasy world, the Dark One, the embodiment of pure evil, is breaking free from his prison. The overall plot is about a man who learns that he is the reincarnation of the world’s messiah and is once again destined to save the world from the Dark One – but possibly destroy it in the process. This saga is not only his story, but the story of an entire world’s struggle to deal with war and change, destruction and hope.
The Wheel of Time consists of fifteen primary books, and includes three additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
