Book Description

Publication Date: Aug 15 1996 | Series: Sword Of Truth (Book 2)
An Epic of Awesome Power

Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp ... love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.

Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.

Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This satisfying sequel to Goodkind's powerful debut novel, Wizard's First Rule, has everything one could ask for in an epic fantasy. In the earlier book, Seeker of Truth Richard Cypher tricked the sorcerer Darken Rahl by using Wizard's First Rule (that people are stupid and can be easily misled) into opening the wrong Box of Orden. Though this saved humanity from the evil mage's tyrannies, it also tore the veil between worlds, so the diabolical Keeper of the Underworld can now reach through and seize permanent control of the living. To stop this from happening, Richard must now learn how to be a wizard. The Sisters of the Light promise they will teach him to wield his powers, but they require that he wear a collar of obedience, something he has sworn he would rather die than do. Events sweep Richard and his betrothed, the Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell, apart from one another; later, in one of the most vigorous battle sequences written for a heroine in modern fantasy, Kahlan leads her underage troops against battle-hardened soldiers, the young warriors naked except for a spectral coat of whitewash intended to make them look like "spirits." Those who like their fantasy big and brassy will revel in this exemplar of the genre.

From Library Journal

After the death of Sorcerer Darken Rahl, Richard Cypher?a woods guide turned reluctant hero?finds that his responsibilities have only just begun. He seeks a teacher to help him control his magical gift but is caught in a difficult struggle to retain control over his destiny. Goodkind's talents for world building and characterization are again featured in this sequel to Wizard's First Rule (LJ 9/15/94). He explores not only the deeds but the innermost thoughts of his heroes and villains. Graphic depictions of sex and violence, though integral to the story, limit this powerful saga to mature audiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, then boring and finally awesome July 29 2011
By Cyrille
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is great! The plot is good, the characters are well presented. A tad more details than necessary. The first 300 pages are good, it's interesting and fun to read. Pages 300-600 are SOOO long and should have been shortened by half. 600-850 are AMAZING. But the last 150 are too short if you see what I mean. All of the action is concentrated in the end and you really feel like the author had to write the last pages in a hurry and this is a bit frustrating when you read 300 pages in a novel when it should have been 100 and the last and more important pages last 100 when it should be at least 200 or even 300. This is actually the only mistake made by Terry Goodkind.

Less enjoyable than Wizard's First Rule but you'll like it too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nearly a copyright violation April 20 2006
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Honestly, it was almost like he read wheel of time and used it for the inspiration for this book. If I was Robert Jordan I think I would have sued him for this. Or am I wrong and this one came out first? Well hardly mattered since I read the other first which made this book very hard to read. I loved the first book. What a letdown.
