‘The Wheel of Time’ is based on Robert Jordan’s best-selling novels, which are among the most popular and enduring fantasy book series of all time, with over 90 million copies sold. The story is set in a world in which certain women have the innate ability to channel the magical One Power and become Aes Sedai.
However, the same ability in men will cause them to mentally snap and wreak havoc, as a legendary figure known as the Dragon did long ago, triggering a cataclysmic event called the Breaking of the World.
The story begins with five young villagers sought out by the Aes Sedai Moiraine and her Warder Lan, who believe that one of them may be the Dragon Reborn, fated to either heal the world or break it again.
