A Memory of Light is the name given to the fourteenth and final novel of The Wheel of Time. It was due for publication in late 2012, however Tor later announced that the final volume would be released on January 8, 2013.[1]
Pre-release material
Three excerpts of the final book have been released on the publisher's website, Tor.com. An excerpt of the prologue on April 26, an excerpt of chapter one on July 15, and an excerpt of chapter eleven on September 2, 2012.[2][3][4]
It was announced that the prologue of the book would be released as an e-book on October 2, 2012, however it was released early on September 19 due to accidental release in some regions.[5]
On September 26, 2012, the full text of Chapter One was released on Tor.com.[6]
On October 24, 2012, audio from Chapter Two was released on Tor.com.[7]
Cover art
Darrell Sweet, the artist of the covers of the series, passed away on December 5, 2011. Prior to his passing, he was working on a cover for A Memory of Light. It depicts three women, presumably Elayne, Aviendha, and Min, standing around a funeral pyre.[8]
On February 27, 2012, artist Michael Whelan was chosen to produce the cover for the book. His cover art depicts Rand al'Thor holding Callandor at Shayol Ghul with Moiraine Damodred and Nynaeve al'Meara in the background.
