One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help . . . and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them--for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say.In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword--to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed . . . or that their time has run out.

"The main character starts off oblivious to his magic and tries hard not to see it. But his feats of magic, though often unintentional, astound those around him and he becomes a man who shapes the world for all peoples in all parts of his world. "

"This is a long series. The first six or so are great. Those that followed had what felt like a culmination of Goodkind's political views and I started to not care about Richard. Again draw your own conclusions...the series shouldn't be missed. The TV version sucked, similar to Terry Brook's Shannara books...bad treatment. I didn't care what happened to the main characters. TB liked it. Go figure."
