The Wheel of Time turns full circle.

Author Robert Jordan, whose "Wheel of Time" series of fantasy novels sold millions of copies, died Sunday of a rare blood disease. He was 58.

The first volume in his Wheel of Time epic, "The Eye of the World," was published in 1990. Since then there have been numerous other volumes, plus a prequel. Book 11 (Knife of Dreams) was published in 2005 and Jordan was working on Volume 12 at the time of his death.

Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time series have many fans and will be sorely missed.
