The Aes Sedai is a powerful group of women who wield magic in The Wheel of Time.
Based on Robert Jordan’s 14-book fantasy series, The Wheel of Time follows the powerful Moiraine as she leads a group of four young people — Rand, Mat, Perrin, and Egwene — on a harrowing journey. The series is set in a world where women have safe access to powerful magic, but men do not — and using magic could drive them mad.
Moiraine, a member of an elite magical group of women called the Aes Sedai, believes one of her young companions is the Dragon, a prophesied hero who will either save the world or destroy it entirely. But Moiraine is not the only person in search of the Dragon; many allies but mostly foes are seeking out the prophecy’s chosen one.
The first three episodes of The Wheel of Time will introduce the main characters and see them set off on the first part of their adventure.
