Towers of Midnight (book)
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
(Redirected from The Shifting Winds)
Towers of Midnight is the name of the thirteenth and penultimate volume of The Wheel of Time series. The working title Shifting Winds was adopted for a time[1], but the name was replaced at Brandon Sanderson's urging in September 2009[2].
[edit] Title significance
The title can be taken as a literal reference to the Towers of Midnight fortress-complex in Imfaral (a city in Seanchan), which has thirteen towers and is thus a reference to the number of the book. It may also hint that the Seanchan plot-thread is resolved in this volume ahead of the Last Battle, which is expected to be the focus of the final two volumes. Other references, including less-literal ones to perhaps the Black and White Towers, are also possible.
