Knife of Dreams - Definition and Overview

Knife of Dreams is the eleventh book in the fantasy series The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. The book has not yet been released; the projected release date is late 2005. This volume of The Wheel of Time is expected to tie up some minor and major loose ends exposed during the course of the series, including Mat's journey through the door ter'angreal, and the beginning of Tarmon Gai'don. Jordan has stated that a previous event in the series will have detrimental effects in this book. Jordan also says that there will be a total of twelve books, possibly thirteen, in the main series. If this prediction is accurate, Knife of Dreams will have one, possibly two, sequels. (Jordan's previous statements of the length of the series have proved inaccurate.) After this, Jordan will finish with two more prequels in addition to the already published New Spring.
