About this listen

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, continues as Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn in The Great Hunt.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of....

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn - the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant number one New York Times best sellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

What the critics say

"Jordan creates a lush, sprawling tapestry of a novel in the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings." (Library Journal)

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Great!

Can't wait to finish this series. People keep saying the first 3 books are a set up for the series and it gets better, but don't be fooled. It's true that it's not action packed, but it draws you in!

A great experience continued

I’m really enjoying this new was to experience my favourite series. I have read this series number ours times in physical form and now being able to listen to someone read them to me so that I can do other things while listening has been fantastic. I can now enjoy my favourite story any where any time, even while driving. It’s amazing. Kate Reading and Michael Kramer do an amazing job bring Robert Jordan’s world and characters to life and even after many many rereads Jordan’s writing and story continues to stand the test of time. If you haven’t read the series yet, go get The Wheel of Time and start!

Couldn’t finish after third attempt.

Great story, Great series, but, I had to read it myself, I thought it might be my mood or expectations were wrong , but, after my third attempt to Iisten, I had to delete this book.I find Mr. Kramers reading intolerable due to his cadence and mis-placed emphasis, . Definitely sample this before you buy, if you like a story to be told with flow and in a fashion where how it’s read is not something you are forced to dwell on with every sentence. I will be watching for this reader from now on just so as not to purchase stories he reads.

Excellent Series

Second book in the wheel of time series did not disappoint. Having read about half the books years ago before the series was finished I decided to go back and listen to the entire series start to end now that it is finished. Story comes alive well with the narrators. #Audible1

Golden Oldie

I'm on my second read of the series. First read was an immense struggle. Second read, mayhap because I now know where the story leads, I didn't have to stress about remembering everything and certain characters and events sprang out more clearly. As always, narrators are fantastic but the story's a little aged, a little old-fashioned, so I'm seeing what I would expect out of a 50 or 60 year old book despite it only being about 30 years old. It's both writing style and integral elements in Jordan's vision that have simply aged out but still appreciable.
