Summary
Richard Rahl has traveled far from his
roots as a simple woods guide. Emperor of the D'Haran Empire,
war wizard, the Seeker of Truth-none of these roles mean as
much to him as his newest: husband to his beloved Kahlan
Amnell, Mother Confessor of the Midlands. But their wedding day
is the key that unlocks a spell sealed away long ago in a
faraway country. Now a deadly power pours forth that threatens
to turn the world into a lifeless waste. Separated from the
Sword of Truth and stripped of their magic, Richard and Kahlan
must journey across the Midlands to discover a dark secret from
the past and a trap that could tear them apart forever. For
their fate has become inextricably entwined with that of the
Midlands-and there's no place so dangerous as a world without
magic…
