The Wheel of Time star Rosamund Pike has opened up about the “forbidden love” her character, Moiraine, shares with another key player in the series.
one of the Aes Sedai, women who can channel the One Power – is revealed to be romantically linked to Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo), the Amyrlin Seat and the leader of the Aes Sedai.
Moiraine and Siuan are seen kissing, caressing each other and working on their secret quest to find the Dragon Reborn (a prophesied hero) while in bed.
The late Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series, never explicitly spelt out that there is a romantic connection between Moiraine and Siuan. But there was a reference in the books to the pair being “pillow friends” as novices and beyond their time training in the White Tower of Tar Valon.
