As the ties to his past begin to unravel, and his corrupted power grows stronger, Rand becomes increasingly unrecognizable to his closest allies, Moiraine and Egwene (Madeleine Madden). These powerful women, who started the series as teacher and student, must now work together to prevent the Dragon from turning to the Dark, no matter the cost."

Will The Wheel of Time Season 3 cover a particular book?

While The Wheel of Time has already made significant changes from its source material, Season 3 is expected to primarily cover the fourth book in the series, The Shadow Rising. Given the show’s adaptive approach, it’s likely that elements from The Dragon Reborn (Book 3) will also be woven into the narrative. This blending of storylines allows the series to streamline the sprawling plot while introducing key moments from both books, creating a cohesive yet unique adaptation for fans of the novels and new viewers alike.
