"Rosamund Pike brings a fresh narration to the first book in the beloved Wheel of Time series. At 33 hours, this audiobook is no small undertaking, but Pike's impressive performance leaves listeners wanting more."—AudioFile (Earphones Award winner)

“Through her smooth, dramatic performance, award-winning actor Rosamund Pike amplifies the new audiobook of book one in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.”—BookPage

A #1 New York Times bestselling audiobook!

The Wheel of Time is an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

This program is read by narrator Rosamund Pike, star of the hit Prime Video original series.

The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of fans around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Critic reviews

“His huge, ambitious Wheel of Time series helped redefine the genre.” —George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones

“Anyone who’s writing epic or secondary world fantasy knows Robert Jordan isn’t just a part of the landscape, he’s a monolith within the landscape.” —Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle series

The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.)” —Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series

Fantastic from start to finish. Rosamund Pike brings every character to life from the smallest conversations to the loudest battle cries in the old tongue.

Amazing.

Probably the best narrated audio book ever

I loved this. I've been waiting so long to listen to these books and find the other recordings completely intolerable. Rosamund does an incredible job, it fits the world much better and is importantly she makes the story easy to listen to so you can sit back, relax, unwind and enjoy it rather than being quite stressed between two narrators who read things differently, say things differently and pace things differently.

please do more!

It's been many years since I read the books, they still have the power to enchant. As a more mature reader I don't admire the text, it is adverb laden and detracts from the superb reading and compelling storytelling.

I can't lavish enough praise on Rosamund Pike. Her vocal range, her command of pace and tone, and her variety of accents are perfectly deployed. Bravo

Pike's performance is magnificent

I’ve read the whole series and loved it but found recently i need audio books as I don’t have time to actually read and I really want to have a re read (listen) of The Wheel of Time audio books but I just can’t stand the current Kramer/Kate ones (sorry to the fans but to me it sounds dated, the accents are totally off, people and places sound wrong, just can’t do it) Rosamund does an exceptional job- exactly what I wanted BUT I desperately would like clarification of if she is doing the others and when they would be released would also be nice to know. I have emailed Macmillan Books directly but received no reply unfortunately. Would be such a shame if it was just a one off or we have to wait a year for book 2. Please just let us know if RP has been commissioned to do them all.

Absolutely amazing

No offence to the previous narrators of this series of books…. However it’s a refreshing narration.
All the characters are easily recognise able.
A job very well done.

Outstanding narration
