- A brand-new, redrawn world map by Ellisa Mitchell using change requests discovered in Robert Jordans unpublished notes
- An alternate scene from an early draft of The Eye of the World
-
An exclusive interview with the author


This companion to the internationally bestselling series will delve into the creation of Robert Jordans masterpiece, drawing from interviews and an unprecedented examination of his unpublished notes. Michael Livingston tells the behind-the-scenes story of who Jordan was (including a chapter that is the very first published biography of the author), how he worked, and why he holds such an important place in modern literature.

The second part of the book is a glossary to the real world in The Wheel of Time. King Arthur is in The Wheel of Time. Merlin, too. But so is Alexander the Great and the Apollo Space Program, the Norse gods and Napoleons greatest defeat and so much more.
