The Wheel of Time, which has sold over 90M books worldwide, is set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists, but only women can use it.
The eighth through fourteenth books in The Wheel of Time series each reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list.
Amazon’s The Wheel of Time has cast Oscar nominee Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as Siuan Sanche, and Kae Alexander (Game of Thrones) as Min in the upcoming series adaptation, as well as Clare Perkins as Kerene, Peter Franzen as her Warder, Stepin, and Kate Fleetwood as Liandrin.
The series draws on numerous elements of European and Asian culture and philosophy, most notably the cyclical nature of time found in Buddhism and Hinduism.
