The Fires of Heaven : Book Five of 'The Wheel of Time'

The Wheel of Time ® is a PBS Great American Read Selection! Now in development for TV!

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Into the forbidden city of Rhuidean, where Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn, must conceal his present endeavor from all about him, even Egwene and Moiraine.

Into the Amyrlin's study in the White Tower, where the Amyrlin, Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, is weaving new plans.

Into the luxurious hidden chamber where the Forsaken Rahvin is meeting with three of his fellows to ensure their ultimate victory over the Dragon.

Into the Queen's court in Caemlyn, where Morgase is curiously in thrall to the handsome Lord Gaebril.

For once the dragon walks the land, the fires of heaven fall where they will, until all men's lives are ablaze.

And in Shayol Ghul, the Dark One stirs...

Praise for Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time

“Jordan’s multivolume epic [is] a feast for fantasy aficionados.” – Library Journal

Book One: THE EYE OF THE WORLD

“New readers are advised to start with the first book, The Eye of the World. It may take you a year of steady reading, but by the next year you’ll be chomping at the bit to jump on the [newest] book.” – Robert Knox, MPG Newspapers

Book Two: THE GREAT HUNT

“On very rare occasions, very talented storytellers create worlds that are beyond fantasy; worlds that become realities. Robert Jordan has.” – Morgan Llywelyn, author of Lion of Ireland and Druids

Book Three: THE DRAGON REBORN

“One of the books to read this year.” – Science Fiction Review

Book Four: THE SHADOW RISING

“The fourth volume of the most ambitious American fantasy saga continues to suggest that The Wheel of Time will also be the finest.” – Booklist

Book Five: THE FIRES OF HEAVEN

“Rich and Enthralling.” – Locus
