THE Wheel of Time series is an international number one bestseller and one of the most popular fantasy epics ever.
Robert Jordan presents a stunning prequel to the Wheel of Time series that is a must-read for existing fans and a great opportunity for new readers to enter his extraordinary world.
The Wheel of Time series began in 1992 with the first novel, The Eye of the World, in which five young friends are caught in an ancient prophecy that pulls the best of friends together and then rips that friendship asunder, all the while the mysterious Aes-Sedai manipulate their lives and countless others.
The Wheel of Time is based over 12 books, with the eleventh published in October 2005, the series centres on Rand al'Thor, the dragon reborn, who must unite the lands against the evil of the Dark One for humanity to survive. Moiraine is a young and powerful Aes-Sedai who, from the first book, embarks Rand on the epic quest.
In The New Spring, Jordan goes back 20 years before Moiraine's fateful meeting with Rand, to her search for a Bondsman as she requires aid in a desperate quest to prove the truth of a vague and largely discredited prophecy - one that speaks of a means to turn back the shadow, and of a child who is the Dragon Reborn.
The story is set in a world as rich and steeped in history as Tolkien's with a far more intricately woven story.
This set is a MUST read for a sci-fi/fantasy fan. All these books and more are available at your local library.
