DRAGON'S destiny

Will Rand turn to the dark side as The Wheel of Time returns?

- CAREN CLARK, SEAN MARLAND

Rand al'Thor has finally fulfilled his destiny to become the Dragon Reborn, but he faces a new set of dark, troubling enemies as fantasy drama The Wheel of Time returns to Prime Video for a third season.

Based upon The Shadow Rising, the fourth book in Robert Jordan's series of novels, the new eight-part run follows on from the climactic finale of the second season, which saw Rand defeat The Dark One's most powerful servant and leader of The Forsaken, Ishamael.

However, as we rejoin the story with an opening triple bill this week, we find Rand (Josha Stradowski) being pursued by the remaining Forsaken, including Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe) who tempts him towards the darkness.
