Synopsis "knife of dreams"

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In Knife of Dreams, the eleventh novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time(R), Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is upon Rand al'Thor--and now the Dragon Reborn must confront the Dark One as humanity's only hope. The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable... Abandoning Rand's war against the Dark One, Perrin Aybara has made his own truce with the Seanchan in his obsessive quest to save his wife Faile from the Shaido and destroy their mutual enemies. To achieve victory, Perrin must render the Shaido Wise One channelers in Malden powerless. But even as he puts his desperate plan into action, Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, moves against him. Traveling with circus performers through Seanchan-controlled Altara, Mat Cauthon attempts to court Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to complete their fateful prophesized marriage. Despite being surrounded by Seanchan seeking to kill her, Mat's intended leads him on a merry chase while he wages guerrilla warfare to protect her. Knowing he cannot defeat the Dark One while at war with the Seanchan, Rand brokers for a truce with the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Unaware of Tuon's actual location, the Dragon Reborn walks into a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, who possesses knowledge about his powers that will either shatter or steel his resolve in the forthcoming conflict. Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Robert Jordan, pseudonym of James Oliver Rigney Jr., was a prominent American writer born in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 17, 1948. He is mainly recognized for his epic fantasy series "The Wheel of Time", which began with "The Eye of the World" in 1990. Before turning to writing, Jordan graduated in physics from The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

In addition to "The Wheel of Time", Jordan wrote several novels about "Conan the Barbarian" in the 1980s, contributing to the heroic fantasy genre. After his death in 2007, author Brandon Sanderson completed the last volumes of "The Wheel of Time" based on notes left by Jordan. The series has been translated into multiple languages and has established Jordan as one of the most influential authors in contemporary fantasy literature.
