A Memory of Light (WoT #14) Gets Covered

The new cover for A Memory of Light, the fourteenth and final volume of The Wheel of Time, has been released, from the amazing artist, Michael Whelan (also known for The Way of Kings cover among many others).

The full wrap-around:

I have to say I like it, it's definitely among the best of the WoT covers. Not that it's my favorite if Whelan's by any means, but while different from those by Darryl K. Sweet, it looks similar enough and I think Rand's aged/changed enough by this point in the series that this different-looking person actually works.

Towers of Midnight First Chapter - Apples First

Tor's got the first chapter of the newest book in The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight. One of these days I'll be able to actually read these things once I catch up. Next year mayhap.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the misty peaks of Imfaral. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

What? That's how it begins? :D
