Amazon Prime is Video is bringing the late Robert Jordan’sWheel of Timebook series to life.
The streaming service released the first official trailer for the upcoming fantasy series on Thursday, giving fans their first look at Rosamund Pike as the magical Moiraine Damodred.
The Wheel of Timefollows Moiraine (Pike) as she arrives in the town of Two Rivers. Moraine, who is a member of the powerful female organization Aes Sedai, soon finds herself entangled in a “dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity,” a description from the streaming service reads.
In the upcoming show’s first teaser trailer, Moiraine speaks about the great power that Aes Sedai members hold. “The wheel of time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend,” she says.
“The power inside you. All over the world, there are different names for it,” she continues. “But it’s one thing, one power and women who can touch it. We protect the world.”
But protecting their world won’t be easy, as a “dark one” threatens their very existence.
