Set in a high fantasy world, Amazon Prime Video’s “The Wheel of Time” brings to life author Robert Jordan’s novel series through the influences of real-world cultures to achieve authenticity. The series follows a woman named Moiraine Damodred — portrayed by Rosamund Pike — who crosses paths with five young villagers and embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Moiraine claims that one of the villagers is the child of an ancient prophecy with the power to tip the balance between Light and Dark forever.
