The final volume. The Last Battle has begun. Rand al'Thor rides to Shayol Ghul to confront the Dark One while the armies of humanity fight on multiple fronts in a battle that spans over two hundred pages - one of the longest sustained battle sequences in fantasy literature. Every major character converges on their destiny: Mat commands the forces of Light, Perrin fights in the World of Dreams, Egwene faces the Forsaken, Lan charges the Gap. A Memory of Light brings closure to storylines that began in 1990 and delivers the ending Robert Jordan envisioned before his death. The prologue and several key scenes were written by Jordan himself; Sanderson wove them into the completed novel.
