About The Gathering Storm

The Gathering Storm is the twelfth book in Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series, completed by Brandon Sanderson from Jordan's extensive notes following Jordan's death in 2007. This volume follows Rand al'Thor as he approaches the Last Battle, hardened and increasingly dangerous as the weight of his destiny threatens to break him. Egwene al'Vere continues her campaign to unite the White Tower from within, navigating the politics of the Aes Sedai with remarkable skill. Sanderson captures Jordan's sprawling world faithfully while bringing renewed momentum to the series. The Gathering Storm marks a turning point where years of buildup begin paying off in dramatic fashion, delivering the propulsive storytelling fans had been waiting for across thousands of pages. Essential reading for anyone committed to finishing the Wheel of Time.
