"Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal." --The New York Times on The Wheel of Time(R) series

Explore never-before-seen insights into the Wheel of Time, including:
- A brand-new, redrawn world map by Ellisa Mitchell using change requests discovered in Robert Jordan's unpublished notes
- An alternate scene from an early draft of The Eye of the World
- The long-awaited backstory of Nakomi
- 8 page, full color photo insert

Take a deep dive into the real-world history and mythology that inspired the world of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time(R). Origins of The Wheel of Time is written by Michael Livingston, Secretary-General of the United States Commission on Military History and professor of medieval literature at The Citadel, with a Foreword by Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan's editor, widow, and executor of his estate.

This companion to the internationally bestselling series delves into the creation of Robert Jordan's masterpiece, drawing from interviews and an unprecedented examination of his unpublished notes. Michael Livingston tells the behind-the-scenes story of who Jordan was, how he worked, and why he holds such an important place in modern literature.

The second part of the book is a glossary to the "real world" in The Wheel of Time. King Arthur is in The Wheel of Time. Merlin, too. But so are Alexander the Great and the Apollo Space Program, the Norse gods and Napoleon's most famous victory--and so much more.

Origins of The Wheel of Time provides exciting knowledge and insights to both new and longtime fans looking to either expand their understanding of the series or unearth the real-life influences that Jordan utilized in his world building--all in one, accessible text.

Bought three of these wallets as gifts. Everyone liked their wallet. Great construction with plenty of pockets for cards and cash. Nice looking too.

Great gift
It’s really hard to find a wallet with a mesh ID window. This one looks great and fits very well in the back pocket.

Herschel is seriously the Best!
Color: Black Tonal
Got this for my teenage son & it was the perfect size for him. He didn’t want a bulky wallet, just something simple to carry his school ID, cash and his debit card. Herschel has amazing quality products, definitely can’t go wrong with them! Worth the price for sure :)

Nice and thin
Color: Black Tonal
Slim wallet. Made for a minimalist type of person. Ideally for only about five cards and some cash anything more the wallet will start to bulge.

Minimal and Magnificent
Color: Black Tonal
I've had more than a few front pocket wallets, and this one is up at the top. It's sturdy even though it's thin, and the stitching is even. Card retention is great with room for 1-2 cards per pocket, as well as room for a few bills to fit comfortably in the middle pocket. Probably going to buy another as a backup.
