The Wheel of Time is a book series set in a sprawling, intricately built world where time is cyclical and history repeats itself through the turning of the Wheel. The series explores an epic battle between Light and Shadow across multiple Ages. The story’s magic system, the One Power, is drawn from a source divided into male and female halves— Saidin and Saidar. Themes include destiny vs. free will, prophecy, reincarnation, gender dynamics, and the balance between order and chaos.
