What this book is about

Rand flees to find Callandor, the sword that cannot be touched, in Tear. Mat and Perrin follow for their own reasons. Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne hunt the Black Ajah. The Dragon Reborn is told almost entirely without Rand as a POV character—Jordan's most ambitious structural gamble and it works.
