Synopsis
The definitive encyclopedia for the blockbuster #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, now in trade paperback

Review
“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal.” ―New York Times
“The definitive American fantasy saga, a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.” ―Chicago Sun-Times
“Hard to put down for even a moment. A fittingly epic conclusion to a fantasy series that many consider one of the best of all time.” ―San Francisco Book Review
