Towers of Midnight
Epic Fantasy High Fantasy Young Adult Fantasy Sword and Sorcery Adult Fantasy Heroic Fantasy Collectible Modern Firsts
Towers of Midnight, book thirteen of Robert Jordan’s epic Wheel of Time sequence, is the volume where every plotline begins to converge toward Tarmon Gai’don. First-edition hardcovers already command a premium because the initial print run was modest; add the ultra-scarce author signature—this copy is hand-signed by Robert Jordan, not a facsimile—and you have the crown jewel of any modern-fantasy shelf. The dust-jacket art, mapping Mat’s ashandarei and Perrin’s hammer, is pristine and protected, while the book itself shows no shelf lean, no sun-fading, and no ex-library marks—only crisp, white pages that have never been dog-eared.
For collectors, the value proposition is clear: signed Jordan volumes in collectible-grade condition surface far less often than signed Martin or Sanderson, and Towers of Midnight is the last book he personally promoted before his passing, making the signature historically significant. Young-adult and adult readers alike will appreciate how Jordan (and completing author Brandon Sanderson) balance massive battle set-pieces with intimate character growth—Egwene’s defense of the White Tower, Perrin’s acceptance of his wolf-king destiny, and the first honest conversation between Mat and the gholam all unfold here. The pace is faster than earlier door-stoppers, yet the depth of lore remains encyclopedic, rewarding re-reads with foreshadowing you will catch only after knowing the ending.
This first-edition, first-printing hardcover is ready to slip straight into a mylar-wrapped dust-jacket protector and onto the “high spot” of your fantasy collection. Coming from a smoke-free home and showing only negligible shelf wear, it offers both the tactile pleasure of a well-made Tor hardcover and the long-term appreciation of a blue-chip modern first. Whether you are completing your Wheel of Time set or hunting the signed cornerstone that will make your collection stand out at convention tables, Towers of Midnight in this condition is the copy to own.
