Get Millie Black

Based on the best-selling fantasy series 

 by Robert Jordan, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), learns that he is the Dragon Reborn — a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world… or destroy it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful women must confront his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. The Wheel of Time turns, and the Last Battle approaches. Though Rand thought he had destroyed the Dark One, evil is not gone from the world. In season two, new and very old threats seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered across the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help, so they must find other sources of strength — in each other, or in themselves. In the Light… or the Dark.
