[Jason Denzel]

Tor Books has released the cover art for the upcoming ebook release of The Gathering Storm, the twelfth book in the Wheel of Time series, and the first co-written with Brandon Sanderson. Each month, beginning this past October, Tor will release the next book in the series in a variety of electronic formats. See below for a full list of links to the released books, as well as a schedule of the upcoming releases.

 

With each eBook, Tor is including brand new artwork for the "cover". A different artist has been selected for each one, giving the art team at Tor a chance to provide us fans with a variety of styles.
