WHEEL OF TIME, THE (Amazon) - Priyanka Bose, Taylor Napier and Emmanuel Imani have all scored roles on the Robert Jordan adaptation. Bose will play Alanna Mosvani, "a member of the same organization of powerful women as Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) - the Aes Sedai. She's renowned for both her kindness and her temper. And instead of having one Warder like Moiraine, she has two - Ihvon (Imani) and Maksim (Napier). The three of them have a complicated relationship built on love, sex and respect that welds them into a fearsome force in battle." (Deadline.com, 12/23)
