Revealing the Cover to Warrior of the Altaii, Robert Jordan’s Never-Before-Published Standalone Fantasy Novel

Robert Jordan Warrior of the Altaii

On October 8, 2019, Wheel of Time and Robert Jordan fans will get to experience Warrior of the Altaii, a fascinating formative work by The Wheel of Time creator, offering an abundance of the epic themes that Jordan would continue to develop in The Wheel of Time itself.

Draw near and listen, or else time is at an end.

The watering holes of the Plain are drying up, the fearsome fanghorn grow more numerous, and bad omens abound. Wulfgar, a leader of the Altaii people, must contend with twin queens, warlords, prophets and magic in hopes of protecting his people and securing their future. Elspeth, a visitor from another world, holds the answers, but first Wulfgar must learn to ask the right questions.

But what if the knowledge that saves the Altaii will also destroy them?

Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan’s editor and wife, explains a bit of the history behind Warrior of Altaii:

Warrior of the Altaii has been sold twice, but has never been published. Until now.

When I reread Warrior of the Altaii this winter, after this long intermission, I was amazed at the foreshadowing of The Wheel of Time. You will find many hints of what is to come. One of the most obvious is the name of the major mountain range – the Backbone of the World. In The Wheel of Time, it is the Spine of the World. I think you’ll have fun finding them as you read this brand new Robert Jordan – a fine wine that has reached its perfect maturity.

On October 8, draw near and listen.
