About The Wheel of Time:
Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series The Wheel of Time, Rand al’Thor (Josha
Stradowski, Gran Turismo) learns he is The Dragon Reborn—a dangerous figure from history destined to
save the world … or break it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful women
must reckon with his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. The Wheel of Time turns, and the
Last Battle approaches. Though Rand thought he destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the
world. In Season Two, threats new and very old seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now
scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, and so they
must find other sources of strength. In each other, or themselves. In the Light … or the Dark.
