The Wheel of Time is a long-running epic fantasy series by Robert Jordan.[1] Upon Jordan's death, Brandon Sanderson was chosen to complete the series. He was selected by Robert Jordan's widow and editor, Harriet McDougal. After she read Brandon's eulogy for Jordan, she decided to read one of his books.[2]

In 2009, Tor announced that Brandon would be writing three books to finish the series, after finding that it was impossible to write as a single novel.[3][4]
