Return to the world of The Sword of Truth which "has everything one
could ask for in an epic fantasy" (Publishers Weekly), the world of
Richard Cypher, whose adventures have stirred the blood and filled the
hearts of legions of satisfied readers. When
Richard was a simple woods guide, he never dreamed he would get caught
up in magic, war, and dangers so extraordinary that the fate of his
entire world would hang on his actions and decisions.
After he rescued Kahlan Amnell, the Mother Confessor of the Midlands
and the woman Richard would come to love, he left the forest and
entered into a larger and more perilous world. In Wizard's First Rule they were the last hope against the forces of
Darken Rahl, who had vowed to enslave the land on behalf of the Keeper,
the embodiment of evil that ruled the underworld.
Over the course
of his journeys Richard learned to accept his true role, first as the
Seeker and the wielder of the Sword of Truth, and then, in Stone of Tears, as the new Lord Rahl and the war wizard who led the fight against the Keeper and his dark minions.
Richard managed to seal the keeper in the Underworld and in, Blood of
the Fold, defended the Midlands from the genocidal armies of the Blood
of the Fold. Yet a greater threat remains. Everything
Richard has learned thus far, all the wisdom, the magic, and the
conviction he holds, will be for naught as the power-mad Emperor Jagang
returns with his multitude of demonic underlings. For Richard must now
challenge the impossible: the magic that thwarts magic, the
three-thousand-years-sealed-away fortress of evil that has begun to
infect the world with a terrible, sorcerous plague. He must find the
Temple of the Winds.
But once the shadow of betrayal falls across that
mission, Richard must accept the Truth and find a way to undo the damage... or his world will perish.
