Robert Jordan was the pen name of American author James Oliver Rigney Jr., best known for creating The Wheel of Time, one of modern epic fantasy’s defining series. Beginning with The Eye of the World, the saga expanded... into a vast story of prophecy, cyclical history, war, political rivalry, and characters struggling against roles imposed by destiny. Jordan’s work is known for intricate cultures, a large ensemble cast, layered mythology, and the One Power, a magic system built around balance and division. Before The Wheel of Time, he wrote historical and adventure fiction under other names, including Conan novels as Robert Jordan. Readers return to his fantasy for immersive scale, long character arcs, complex world-building, and a story where personal choices can reshape entire ages.
