Publisher's summary

Rosamund Pike returns with an outstanding narration of The Great Hunt, Book Two of the Wheel of Time, now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund as Moiraine.

In The Great Hunt, the second novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of...

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn—the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Critic reviews

“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”—The New York Times

“Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Hard to stop listening

Rosamund Pike’s voice is like audio silk! It captures and holds my attention and makes it difficult to turn off the book. Her inflections and singing were excellent. I cannot wait until June when the next one comes out! Please do the entire series!

Simply a tour de force.

Rosamond Pike has delivered one of the best narrative performances I have ever heard. It is difficult to imagine anyone doing as well as the superb production done by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, but she's pulled it off. Her work here may turn out to be the one good thing to come out of the recent miguided television production.

Excellent narrative, great story

Rosamund Pike is such an excellent narrator with her different voice for each character I know who is talking before she says it. I hope she continues narrating more books.

Old Fan new experience

I have read the Wheel of Time series at least four times and have listened to the original Series on Audio twice. Rosamund Pike brings the characters to new life. This is definitely worth the purchase of an Audio Book.

Rosamund Pike is incredible!

I was gripped by this second installment from the get go. It’s amazing how Pike is able to render so much variation for each character. She’s really brought them all to life for me and I need more. I hope she continues to narrate this series.

Worth the credit

Rosamund Pike absolutely killed it in this book. The voices cast from her own mouth made the vision so clear for my clairvoyant mind. It is appreciated and I can’t wait for more ❤️

Still loving Rosamund, and the story is just getting better

Still loving Rosamund, and the story is just getting better, what’s not to love?

Her voice is so agile, and she’s so much range. Truly impressive. If she doesn’t want to make millions as a screen actress, she’s got a career in reading audio books.

Rosamund Pike is amazing!

This story is fantastic, Rosamund pike does a phenomenal job with the voices bringing the story to life! Thank you!

Outstanding storytelling and performance by Rosamund Pike

I loved the entire book told by Rosamund. Her voices for each character were so realistic and the singing was great! I cannot wait for the rest of the Wheel of Time books narrated by Rosamund Pike! Bravo!

RP stan 4ever

Can't wait till Rosamund Pike finishes narrating the rest of this series 😅 At least I hope she does...
I like the original narration, but RP is just on another level
