Every year the image of the Wheel of the Infinite must be painstakingly remade to ensure another year of peace and harmony for the Celestial Empire. Every hundred years the very fabric of the world must be rewoven. Linked by the mystic energies of the Infinite, the Wheel and world are one.

But a black storm is spreading across the Wheel, reappearing each morning, bigger and darker than before, unraveling the beautiful and orderly patterns.

Maskelle, a murderer and traitor, has been summoned back to help put the world right with the assistance of the mysterious Rian, a swordsman of some renown. If they can't find the source of the problems that plague the Wheel, the world may find its latest rotation is its last.

Reviews for Wheel of the Infinite

Praise for Witch King: A 2023 American Booksellers Pick! A LibraryReads Pick! ""Wells is working at the height of her powers here, and it's relaxing to be carried along for a ride in the company of such a phenomenal storyteller."" --The New York Times ""A wonderfully original world, sympathetic characters and a solid quest make Witch King the satisfying fantasy you yearn for when named swords and cursed rings begin to grow stale."" --The Wall Street Journal ""A wildly original and complex fantasy exploring how revolutions are won through trust, and destroyed through selfishness. Wells excels at brooding, powerful inhuman protagonists who just need a little kindness to be their badass best."" --N. K. Jemisin ""Unlike anything I've ever read. A layered and complex novel that delivers on the promise of epic fantasy."" --Zoraida C�rdova ""Fantasy readers looking for new worlds and characters to explore will be enthralled."" --Library Journal Praise for The Murderbot Diaries ""The Murderbot series is a heart-pounding thriller that never lets up, but it's also one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read. Come for the gunfights on other planets, but stay for the finely drawn portrait of a deadly robot whose smartass goodness will give you hope for the future of humanity."" --Annalee Newitz ""We are all a little bit Murderbot."" --NPR ""Wells gives depth to a rousing but basically familiar action plot by turning it into the vehicle by which SecUnit engages with its own rigorously denied humanity."" --Publishers Weekly, starred review ""I already can't wait for the next one."" --The Verge ""Meet your favorite depressed A.I. since Marvin."" --B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog ""A great kick-off for a continuing series."" --Locus
