Who will stop the evil forces that are chasing Moiraine?..
“The Wheel Of Time ss 3”: release date, announcement
The exciting sequel to the historical TV show “The Wheel Of Time” has been officially announced! This happened even before the premiere of season 2. However, it is too early to talk about the exact release date of the new episodes. But film critics are confident that “The Wheel Of Time Season 3” will be released in the fall of 2023, tentatively in November.
Recall that the TV show is based on a series of books by the famous novelist James Oliver Rigney Jr. James writes under the pseudonym Robert Jordan.
Plot
Wherever Lady Moiraine goes, she is met, at the very least, unfriendly. She is forced to travel around with Lan as he protects her from the enemies of the Aes Sedai forces she wields. She tries not to show this power in front of the others and uses only small spells in battle. Because Moiraine can sense those who can help her in her plans, she heads to Two Rivers.
At the moment of her arrival, all the inhabitants gathered in a local tavern and celebrated the dedication of Egwene. Now the woman was sad, because before the initiation she had to part with her lover — these are the customs of the village. Egwene was braided at the moment of initiation — the braid meant the strength of the sisters. When the moment of loneliness came and the woman felt bad, she could take up her braid and feel her sisters.
Her ex-boyfriend Rand cannot find a place for himself, although he understands that there is no other way. All initiates remain alone. Arriving Moiraine tried to determine who exactly is able to help her cope with the main enemy — the Dark One. But before she could do so, Moiraine sensed an imminent attack from the Dark One’s minions. She had to fight and protect those villagers who could not stand up for themselves.
The massacre began. Someone was looking for shelter. Someone tried to defend the locals along with the hated Moiraine. Perrin Aybara initially managed to keep his enemies away from his family, but at the last moment he accidentally hit his wife, taking her life. Rand did not let anyone near his father, but he himself received a mortal wound. Moiraine managed to cure the guy with magic. Egwene also tried to save the villagers.
But the losses were enormous. And new enemies keep coming. On Moiraine’s orders, Egwene, Rand, Perrin and a local man named Mat Cauthon went to safety. This was the only chance to get the hordes of henchmen away from Two Rivers. Moiraine knew that the Dark One was looking for her, but she needed people who had a spark. Not having time to identify this person at the celebration, she decided to take with her everyone who caught her subtle glance…
Together with her new comrades, she goes to Tar Valon. Only here they can feel safe and develop a plan that will help them save thousands of lives. Moiraine believes that only one of her companions is able to save all life. But will she be able to do everything while the darkness devours everything in its path?..
