The Wheel of Time (abbreviated WoT or less commonly, tWoT) is a bestselling fantasy book series written by Robert Jordan. It is known for the extreme density of its plot, the intricate detail of its imaginary world — known as Randland by fans — and lifelike complexity of relationships and interactions between characters, both individually and collectively. There are 11 books in the series so far. Books 8-11 have each reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and many of the books have been on the list at one time or another. The online game "The Wheel of Time MUD" WoTMUD is the oldest authorized game based on the series (started 1993), and various commercial game adaptations have also been spawned, including a video game, released by Atari for the personal computer, and a tabletop role-playing game, released by Wizards of the Coast and based on d20 rules.

Robert Jordan has repeatedly said that the main sequence will conclude with the twelfth book, working title A Memory of Light. Numerous times he has said he will hold to this statement even if it has to be 2000 pages long. At some point in the future Jordan plans to write two more short prequel novels, an encyclopedia, and possibly two or three other side-plot novels.
