Biografía del autor

Robert Jordan (1948 x{0026} x02013; 2007) escribió críticas de danza y teatro, pero es la épica y extensa serie de La Rueda del Tiempo lo que hizo de él uno de los escritores de fantasía contemporáneos más famoso y querido. Antes de su prematura muerte en 2007, Robert Jordan dejó indicaciones sobre cómo debía ser el final de la saga para que Brandon Sanderson, reconocido autor del género fantástico, lo escribiera con la ayuda de Harriet McDougal, viuda de Jordan y editora de La Rueda del Tiempo. Sin embargo, debido a su extensión, se decidió convertirlo en tres tomos.
