The Gathering Storm

About this book

The Gathering Storm is the title of the 12th book of the The Wheel of Time fantasy series. It was incomplete at the time of the death of its author, Robert Jordan, who died on September 16, 2007 from cardiac amyloidosis having written 50,000 words. His widow Harriet McDougal and publisher Tom Doherty chose to continue the book posthumously. Brandon Sanderson was then chosen to finish writing the book.Jordan originally intended to finish the series in a single volume titled A Memory of Light, but when Sanderson began writing the book it became clear a split was required as it was believed a single volume would be too large to print. The expected final book was then split into three volumes: The Gathering Storm, Towers of Midnight, and A Memory of Light. The books would be published a year apart with the first volume, The Gathering Storm, published on October 27, 2009; a week earlier than originally announced.Fantasia / Ficção / Literatura Estrangeira
