  Here is a quote from the back cover of the first book.

  The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

  For more information you can take a look at The Wheel of Time Archives.

• The Dragonrider's of Perns series by Anne McCaffrey. There are a lot of these books. I suggest starting with Dragonflight. It is volume 1 in the series.

• Other authors of possible interest
  • Greg Bear (Moving Mars, Songs of Earth and Power, ...)
  • Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth series...)
  • C. J. Cherryh (The tree of Swords and Jewels, Fortress in the Eye of Time)

  • William Shakespeare (Almost any of his plays. My favorite were "Hamlet", "A Midsummer's Night Dream.", "The Taming of the Shrew", "Henry V", "Hamlet", and "Much Ado About Nothing."

  Some quotes from these works of Shakespeare can be found here.

  Of course some of the books the previous author's wrote are better than others.
