The first 11 volumes were written by Robert Jordan, who passed away in 2007 while writing number 12, which was to be the end of the saga.
Jordan left written directions for another writer to finish the book after his death, and that task fell to Brandon Sanderson. He finished the work of Jordan, but it was so voluminous that he decided to divide it into 3 volumes, so in the end the saga is made up of 14 books.
