A Memory of Light

Wheel of Time Book Twelve

In September of 2007, Robert Jordan—master of the epic fantasy genre—passed away. Like many long-time fans of the Wheel of Time books, Brandon had been eagerly waiting the final installment of the series. When he heard of Mr. Jordan's passing, Brandon wrote this blog post, talking about what Mr. Jordan's writing had meant to him.

A month or so later, Brandon was surprised to receive a call from Harriet, Robert Jordan's wife and editor. He still isn't sure exactly who or what brought him to her attention, but she was curious to know if he'd be interested in writing the final book of the Wheel of Time series.

Brandon was astounded and humbled by the possibility. He'd been reading the Wheel of Time books since the release of EYE OF THE WORLD nearly twenty years before. To make a long story short, he agreed eagerly, and was commissioned to take Mr. Jordan's notes, materials, outline, and written sections from Book Twelve, organize them, then fill in the many holes to make a complete novel.

At this time, we can't give any more summary of the book than what has already been posted here. Eventually, hopefully, we'll be posting the cover copy from the completed novel in this space. For now, Brandon is hard at work on the book, and is unable to say much about its contents. Find links to things he CAN say here and on the Wheel of Time Portal page.
