Deets: This Friday, fans are invited to join Prime Video in Times Square, where they’ll be able to watch one of the series’ most exciting battle scenes come to life before their eyes. Through the magic of anamorphic technology, a digitized Moraine (played by Rosamund Pike) will leap out of a billboard, to face her enemies, as a street team of Aes Sedai soldiers on horseback will be ready to aid her in battle. While you may have seen anamorphic billboards in the past, including this one that took place in Tokyo this past summer, this will mark the FIRST time one has featured a human being.
In addition to the interactive Times Square billboard and experiential battle scene, fans can also stop by the Amazon Bookstore on 34th Street from November 19th through 29th to check out a massive book installation, encouraging visitors to wield the One Power through fiber optic lighting and sensing technology, creating a magical shareable (and Instagrammable) moment.

Five stone plinths will beckon guests to interact with the book, bringing the space to life with music from the series and swirls of light, while asking the all-important question of the first storyline of The Wheel of Time.
