“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose…” - Robert Jordan
What are the places where ages meet?
The answer is 7 words (13, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 4)
To find the answer, I look to my bookshelf. On it is a complete set of a popular book series, plus a prequel and a later work, River of Souls. There are also two alphabet blocks, with a ‘Y’ and ‘W’ on them.
Each book (except the prequel and later work) is numbered from 1 to 14, in yellow, and has its title running down its spine.
Unfortunately, the books have significant wear and tear: most of the text is no longer legible. Perhaps you can fill it in. The width of each item is numbered above it.
Furthermore, someone seems to have taken a red sharpie and crossed off several letters from the titles. For purposes of this puzzle, treat those letters as if they do not exist.
Also of Note:
- Book 8 was missing the original cover. Someone had written in "Path of Daggers, The", but "Trails of Daggers, The" would be more accurate for this puzzle.
- Book 14 might more accurately be titled "o… of Lightened".
