Towers of Midnight
Epic Fantasy High Fantasy Young Adult Fantasy Sword and Sorcery Coming-of-Age Fantasy War Fantasy Collectible Modern First Editions
Towers of Midnight, the thirteenth volume in Robert Jordan’s monumental Wheel of Time saga, is one of the most sought-after modern first editions in fantasy collecting. This 2010 hardcover is a true first printing, protected by an unclipped dust jacket and preserved in very-good condition—no dog-eared pages, no smoke odor, just crisp, clean text that feels unread. What elevates this copy above ordinary listings is the author’s own hand: Robert Jordan’s genuine signature graces the title page, giving collectors the ultimate provenance for a series that has dominated bestseller lists for three decades.
For readers the book is a turning-point powerhouse. Picking up after the shattering events of The Gathering Storm, Jordan (and completing co-author Brandon Sanderson) drives every major storyline toward Tarmon Gai’don—the Last Battle. Mat Cauthon’s duel with the gholam, Perrin’s forging of the hammer, Egwene’s siege of the Black Tower, and Aviendha’s prophetic visions of the Aiel’s future all converge in a 864-page crescendo that fans routinely rank among the series’ top installments. Because Towers of Midnight was the penultimate novel released during Jordan’s lifetime, signed copies carry extra emotional resonance; they represent the last chapter personally touched by the creator of Randland.
Demand for signed, first-state copies has climbed steadily since Amazon Studios announced the Wheel of Time television adaptation. First printings are already scarce in collectible condition, and copies personally autographed by Jordan—who passed away in 2007 before the series concluded—are becoming true modern rarities. Whether you’re a completionist building a matching set of signed first editions, a bookseller hunting appreciating inventory, or a reader who wants the definitive text on the shelf, this smoke-free, carefully kept volume offers both investment potential and immersive re-read value for young-adult and adult fantasy lovers alike.
