So far, we've only seen a few tantalizing video teasers (which contain only split seconds of actual footage) and some poster art for The Wheel of Time, Amazon's long-awaited TV adaptation of the late Robert Jordan's bestselling 14-book series of epic fantasy novels. But Entertainment Weekly just unveiled an exclusive first look at the new series, featuring four stunning images that give us a welcome taste of showrunner Rafe Judkins' (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) vision for this fictional world.

That's always felt to me like the missing piece of the fantasy-literature landscape that hasn't been brought to TV or film yet."
