Power and allegiance under pressure

As the seventh Wheel of Time novel, A Crown of Swords places Rand al’Thor’s rule under pressure from a revolt led by nobles seeking to regain power. The conflict also reaches into his own alliances: he faces uncertainty about the Aiel’s loyalty and continues to mistrust the rebel Aes Sedai who have sworn allegiance to him. These political strains converge with a direct challenge to the Forsaken Sammael in Illian, giving the book’s central conflict both a struggle over rule and a confrontation involving the One Power. The volume continues the series’ large-scale fantasy narrative, with its established factions and relationships carrying into the new crisis.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers continuing The Wheel of Time after its first six novels.

Book overview

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

In A Crown of Swords, the seventh novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time(R), a rebellious uprising threatens Rand al'Thor's rule as he prepares to battle an even more dangerous enemy.

Incited by nobles seeking to reclaim their places of power, armies march against the Dragon Reborn. As Rand tries to restore order, he discovers a lack of loyalty even among the warrior Aiel, and still mistrusts the rebel Aes Sedai even though they swore allegiance.

But nothing can stop Rand and his Asha'man soldiers from storming the city of Illian to confront the Forsaken Sammael, and challenge him to a duel of the One Power with the winner taking the Crown of Swords...

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers 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.
