About The Dragon Reborn
The Dragon Reborn was written by Robert Jordan and is the third novel in his epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time. The book tells of Rand’s lonely journey to the Stone of Tear, where he intends to start fulfilling prophecies. His friends are in hot pursuit, hoping to stop Rand from stretching too far, too soon. And they are not the only ones looking for the Dragon Reborn.
Book 3 introduces a new race that will delight readers, a more sinister form of Shadowspawn, and a riveting climax that involves Forsaken, a sword that is not a sword, and explosive action. It has been a fan favorite since its publication in 1991 and remains a riveting work of fantasy.

Book Spiel (Spanish Edition)
El Dragón Renacido, the Spanish edition of The Dragon Reborn, uses this grand book spiel, translated for your enjoyment:
“Haunted by unsettling dreams of a crystal sword, Rand decides to abandon his companions after an attack by Shadowspawn and heads towards Tear to discover who he really is. Meanwhile, the three young Aes Sedai wannabes travel with Mat to Tar Valon to enter the White Tower as novices, where they hope the sisters will heal Mat of the strange illness he suffers from. Shortly thereafter, the Amyrlin entrusts them with a dangerous mission.”
