The Wheel of Time spent more than two decades building toward Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle between the forces of the Light and the Dark One. That enormous confrontation finally arrived in A Memory of Light, the 14th and final mainline novel, published in January 2013 and completed by Brandon Sanderson using material left behind by Robert Jordan.

The sprawling The Last Battle chapter brought together characters and conflicts established across the entire series, with the book’s emotional conclusion earning considerable praise from longtime readers, even as some debated individual character resolutions, pacing, and unanswered questions.

Amazon’s The Wheel of Time appeared poised to eventually offer its own interpretation of Tarmon Gai’don, but the television adaptation was canceled after three seasons, long before it could reach the saga’s ending. Now, nearly 14 years after A Memory of Light, The Wheel of Time is preparing to revisit and potentially rewrite the Last Battle in an entirely different form.
